We Take Action for a Future that Balances People and Prosperity
Canada Action is a grassroots organization that encourages Canadians to work together to take action in support of our vital natural resource sectors and the communities and families they support.
Founded in 2010, Canada Action promotes non-partisan and fact-based information about our job-creating, prosperity-generating natural resource industries. We support the millions of workers who rely on these sectors to provide for their families by encouraging honest discussions. Over time, we’ve grown into a nationwide movement that’s become a leading voice in the public sphere around natural resource development and its foundational impact on our lives in Canada.
Our continued efforts are guided by our founding mission: to provide positive, fact-based and non-partisan information for a balanced conversation about Mining, Oil, Natural Gas, Agriculture, Forestry, Nuclear Electricity, Renewables, and any subsectors of these aforementioned industries.
As Canadians from a variety of backgrounds, we’re united by a simple idea: that we must educate ourselves about the immense, irreplaceable economic benefits provided by our natural resources sector. Canadians need to know how we can benefit as a go-to supplier for the uranium, wood, oil, minerals, LNG, and food needed by a growing world.
We’re strong supporters of Canadian natural resources because we know just how important these industries are to Canada’s present and future prosperity. We are determined to counter the false narratives about Canada's natural resources that have been peddled by anti-development activists for decades.
Why Canadians Should Care About Natural Resources
Canada is the envy of the world. Our landmass is beautiful and enormous, and we're blessed with abundant and diverse natural resources that are as essential to our livelihoods, communities and national prosperity. We're also a reliable supplier of the energy, forestry, mining, and agricultural products the world needs.
Whether we’re harvesting trees to build houses, harnessing water to generate electricity, working the soil to produce food, extracting oil for petrochemical products, or mining metals for renewable technologies, Canadians use our vast resources to improve lives here and abroad.
Canada Action is a place where Canadians who care about the success of our country come to have honest conversations about the vital role natural resource development plays in our economy.
How We Take Action for a Better Future
(1) Through rallies, events, print, broadcast, social media, advertising, and the countless programs we’ve initiated, we encourage Canadians to take constructive action. Our goal is that all Canadians work together through fact-based, non-partisan, and positive discussions aimed at finding common ground and innovative solutions to the polarization that can so often hamper progress.
(2) We’re committed to engaging Canadians in an informed conversation about resource development, how important development is to our society, and how we can do both well and improve our practices for the future.
(3) We believe that by educating Canadians on the importance of our country’s resources sector, Canadians will be more inclined to act on that information and stand up to speak out for a prosperous future that supports both urban economics and Indigenous / non-Indigenous rural communities across the country.
Our Principles
Non-Partisan
Canada Action is an independent, grassroots, non-partisan organization. We do not participate in any activities that go beyond the simple scope of directly advocating for the economy-boosting development of Canada’s various natural resource industries and the families and communities they support.
Fact-Based
Canada Action is committed to presenting factual and accurate information. We go to great lengths to ensure the material across our organization reflects the best information from the most credible sources. Throughout our blog posts, infographics, and social media posts, you will find the sources we’ve used to prepare our content.
Inclusive
Canadians are proud of our diverse cultures and the wide range of people from all backgrounds and walks of life. At Canada Action, we are fully committed to a culturally and socially diverse Canada, and to ensuring that our entire organization reflects those values and beliefs in all our activities.
Respectful
Our organization only engages in respectful dialogue. While we may disagree with other public or private entities on matters of public discourse, we will do so in a civil manner. Meaningful, thought-provoking conversations will be conducted to a high standard of courtesy and professionalism.
Positive
The importance of Canada’s natural resource sector cannot be overstated. Collectively, our resource sectors are the bedrock of our nation’s entire economy and our day-to-day lives. This good news story deserves both attention and praise. We believe the world needs more Canadian resources, and we are committed to focusing on a brighter future for all.
