Voice of Canadians

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Voice of Canadians Committees was a right-wing political advocacy group that existed in Canada during the 1990s. Based in Ontario, it opposed diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives including employment equity,[1] official multiculturalism and official bilingualism. It also called for the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms to be repealed.[2] Some of its leading members, including chairman Dick Field, later joined the Freedom Party of Ontario. Their slogan was "the silent majority will be silent no longer."[3]

In 1996, objecting to collection of racial data in the census, which they believed would divide Canadians, the Voice of Canadians Committees launched the "Mark Me Canadian" campaign.[4]
