ANGUS: Rethinking D’Arcy McGee in a Age of Political Violence

Charlie Angus - The Resistance - September 28, 2025

EXCERPT: "However, in some ways, Trump’s ascendancy has been a wake-up call to our nation.

He is showing us the dangers of giving in to the politics of rage and hate. Canadians are rethinking our nation and our responsibilities to one another. We are reminded that the values of compromise and tolerance aren’t signs of weakness, but rather a bedrock of strength.

This is why we need to rethink the role of D’Arcy McGee in the founding of Canada.

McGee’s is a great pub. Where all the political classes come together over drinks. I think D’Arcy McGee would have appreciated this pub as a great memorial. But as we watch a new civil war consume our neighbour to the south, let’s conjure the spirit of Thomas D’Arcy McGee and renew our commitment to this project called Canada."
