Canada’s democracy is precious. When our political leaders prioritize foreign interests over Canadian sovereignty, everyone’s rights are at risk. Premier Danielle Smith’s actions—asking the U.S. government to intervene in our election—represent a dangerous threat to our democratic independence. Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre’s refusal to accept critical national security briefings shows he is unwilling to face these threats seriously. This is not just political maneuvering—it’s about protecting the fundamental integrity of Canada’s democracy. If we don’t demand accountability from our leaders now, we risk losing the democratic freedoms we hold dear.
