The Canada Strong and Free Network is a non-partisan organization that does not promote or oppose any registered party or eligible party or the election of a potential candidate, nomination contestant, candidate or leader of a registered party or eligible party.
CSFN seeks to promote its vision of a free and democratic Canada where conservative principles are well articulated, communicated, funded, embraced and implemented. It does so by taking positions on issues in support of this vision and facilitating discussions of conservative principles, not by supporting or opposing any political entity.
CSFN does not carry out, direct or authorize the comments and views shared by panelists, speakers, and participants at CSFN Ottawa 2025. It explicitly does not endorse any comments or views which might be interpreted as supporting or opposing any political party or individual.
Conference theme: “From Ideas to Action”
The conservative movement around the globe has made great progress in 2024.
Our conservative principles and values are resonating with Canadians and our friends around the world. The opportunity for conservatism to drive change is real. We know that it is conservative solutions that will solve problems for Canadians. Now, we need to work together on implementing these bold changes.
Yet liberal elites beholden to woke agendas stand in the way of this progress. They turn to the dirtiest tricks and ugliest playbooks to slow down the movement and stall the advancement of conservatism.
Conservatives in Canada must be ready on day one to follow through on our ideas and put them into action. This applies to leaders in the conservative movement no mater where they sit, as conservative activists, journalists, thinkers, politicians, or leaders.
This is the mission of the 2025 Canada Strong and Free Networking Conference. The time to drive our ideas into actions is now.
