Proclamation of Kanatawi
Proclamation for the Formation of Kanatawi
Preamble
We, the people of this land, unified in our vision for a just, equitable, and inclusive society, declare the peaceful dissolution of Canada and the formation of a new nation, Kanatawi. This new nation is founded on the values of reconciliation with Indigenous peoples, environmental stewardship, anti-discrimination, and social justice for all.
Recognizing the historical wrongs of colonialism, systemic racism, environmental exploitation, and the failure to uphold the rights of Indigenous peoples, we commit to creating a nation that promotes equality, protects human rights, and ensures the preservation of the natural world for future generations.
This proclamation marks the beginning of a new era—one where all individuals, regardless of race, gender, creed, or origin, can participate in building a nation grounded in dignity, justice, and peace.
