The MacDonald-Cartier National Unity Program – Strength in Diversity.

John A. MacDonald and George-Etienne Cartier found common ground that permitted unified action and Union for CANADA. All that followed depended upon finding that initial common ground. Otherwise there could have been no Confederation, no National Dream, no railroad from coast to coast, no CANADA.  

This all came about because of the pressures of perceived threats from without.  The United States of America was in the midst of a violent civil war and their expansionist policies made the Colony of Canada seem like a sensible next target for their growing land base. The War of 1812 was still remembered by some.

In the 21st Century we find ourselves again facing grim truths that threaten our national existence and even our planet. We need to dig deep into the sources of Canadian unity – stop fighting and demanding more when what is needed is a spirit of generosity. 

We need to recognize that 34 million people is a small population in the global community. China graduated more that 34 million engineers last year. If we are going to compete successfully we are more likely to succeed together rather than by fighting with and against one another.

“CANADA – Together we are strong!”

Building upon the programs, mind-set and values that first knit CANADA together in 1867 we can create a deeper unity that is democratic, prosperous and independent. This is an integral element in this Plan of Hope.
