Target: Prime Minister Mark Carney and the Government of Canada
Goal: We call on Prime Minister Mark Carney and the Government of Canada to halt the F-35 purchase and instead invest in peaceful, community-based solutions that strengthen Canadian independence and security.
Canada is at a crossroads. The current proposal to purchase F-35 fighter jets not only represents a massive expenditure of public funds, but also signals a troubling alignment with aggressive U.S. military policy. At a time when the U.S. administration has threatened Canadian sovereignty and pursued economic measures that harm Canadians, our government must prioritize peace, diplomacy, and true independence.
Instead of investing billions in military hardware, we urge our leaders to focus on the real needs of Canadians: healthcare, education, affordable housing, and climate action. The F-35 purchase will not make us safer; it will make us complicit in escalating militarization and undermine our sovereignty.
We demand that the government listen to the voices of Canadians who want a peaceful, just, and independent future. Halt the F-35 purchase now.
