In just five weeks, over 40,000 of you answered our call and joined our ‘Don’t Trump Canada’ campaign.
With your amazing support, we fought misinformation online, informed voters across the country, stuck it to the MAGA club, postered all around Canada, got our message out in the press, bingoed through the leaders debate, and lit up Niagara Falls.
Keep scrolling-down and enjoy diving into five weeks of electoral frenzy!
On April 15, just before the Leaders Debate, Greenpeace Canada projected our message onto the iconic Niagara Falls to call out Trump and his copycat Pierre Poilievre, who thrive on fear, division, and chaos.
More than a symbolic projection, it’s a call to action sent out to everyone in Canada and beyond. A call to fight for a world where collective solidarity replaces individualism and corporate greed.
So Elbows Up, Don’t Trump Canada, and Resist with us!
An important part of our campaign took place online, with one major objective: fighting disinformation.
Oil-loving trolls, fervent Trump supporters, and other fake news spreaders were everywhere, and so were we! To counter them, we created a wide range of popular, informational, and myth-debunking content that you shared widely with others. In just one month, we collaborated with 12 community partners to get the message out there and more than 24,116 new people joined our online movement!
Musk has been caught boosting right-wing candidates worldwide, while fuelling attacks on their opponents. Canada was warned this would happen – and now it has. The accounts have tell-tale markers of bots: act.gp/42vkozD #DontTrumpCanada #Election2025 #Cdnpoli

"Across this country, residential school denialism is not new. While voices like Aaron Gunn have brought it into sharper public focus, this form of denial has always existed. It is not only about denying the past. It is about repeating it." act.gp/42Pzv73 #Election2025 #DontTrumpCanada

Promises to destroy the Big Bad Woke are a trojan horse used by fake populist parties to sneak their anti-people, anti-planet agenda into the halls of power. Don't let them in. #DontTrumpCanada A Reflection on the Politics of Exclusion >> act.gp/3Y3bc2X #ElbowsUp #Elxn45 #RejectMapleMAGA

This campaign would not have been the same without you and the thousands of people who rallied to take action!
Thanks to you, thousands of stickers were sent out and displayed across the country and numerous posters popped-up in our communities. With your incredible mobilization, we drew the public's attention on the stakes of this election and equipped voters to resist electoral misinformation.
Our disinformation debunking duties didn't stop with social media. The various news stories that punctuated this election called for more in-depth explanations.
Climate, biodiversity, social justice, abortion, immigration... There was no shortage of topics (and wacky positions) for us to jump on, so here’s a tour of the articles that resonated most with you!
We also exposed the Maple MAGA agenda in the press and got our message all over the news. Here’s our selection of press stories that you should read.
The news being what it is, we felt it was important to create a space where we could share our hopes and fears for this election and beyond. What better opportunity than the famous Leaders' Debate, which can so often be hard to watch? That’s why we chose that specific evening to convene a town hall, co-organized with OnCanada Project, to take the time to talk about our communities and the world we want to build together.
This campaign was entirely funded by people like you, who support Greenpeace Canada with a donation. Thank you for fighting alongside us and making this campaign possible. If you too would like to support our ongoing work to speak up for people and the planet, make a donation to Greenpeace Canada today.
