ANGUS: The Spirit of the Jack Pine

Charlie Angus - The Resistance - September 17, 2025

EXCERPT: "Canadians have survived because we understand that we have to rely on neighbours.

We learned the need to be careful with one another, it could be one of the reasons that our politics often seek compromise rather than extremes. The land defined who we are as a nation. The artists helped tell us who we are as a people.

And it is why when our country is threatened, we come together. Canada is a nation that is land and people, but it is also a spirit.

Like the defiant Jack Pine in the face of a bitter storm."
