‼️BREAKING NEWS: Inside “Restore the North”: The Shadow Networks Behind Jamil Jivani’s Christian Nationalist Roadshow‼️ (Many Pots of Coffee Read)
By Annie Koshy
For months now, Conservative MP Jamil Jivani has been travelling across Canada on what he calls the “Restore the North” Campus Tour, a branded, multi-city campaign framed as a dialogue series about culture, faith, and “free expression.”
He appears at universities, churches, and community venues with professional videography, merchandise, coordinated messaging and a strong ideological narrative that mirrors American Christian Nationalist movements.
Yet one critical fact remains entirely unaddressed: No one knows who is paying for any of it.
This exposé lays out what is known, what is missing, and why Canadians must demand transparency.
This is not an MP’s routine speaking schedule. Restore the North has all the markings of a well-funded political organising operation:
🛑National travel
🛑High-quality video production
🛑Custom merchandise
🛑Venue rentals at universities
🛑A full website built for data capture and persuasion
🛑A message rooted in U.S.-style Christian right culture-war politics
Yet there is no public disclosure of funding sources.
Parliamentary budgets do not list this activity. Elections Canada has no filings indicating a registered partisan campaign. There is no sign that the Conservative Party is financing or overseeing the initiative. Universities hosting events confirm they are not sponsors.
This absence of transparency is not normal and not acceptable.
The content of Jivani’s tour is not generic policy outreach.
It aligns closely with the rhetoric, framing, and mobilization strategies used by U.S.-based Christian nationalist organisations such as Turning Point USA, the Leadership Institute, and the Heritage Foundation.
Themes include:
📛Framing Christians as a persecuted class
📛Labelling social equity movements as attacks on “traditional values”
📛Positioning campuses as ideological battlegrounds
📛Mobilizing youth into culture-war activism
This ideological alignment does not prove direct U.S. funding but it raises red flags about influence networks, advisors and messaging pipelines.
Restore the North is not a neutral outreach project. It functions as a standalone political brand.
The website markets merchandise, runs petitions, collects supporter data, and solicits donations. It positions Jivani not as an MP doing community outreach, but as a movement leader with a separate political identity.
The scale suggests a mix of small-dollar donations and larger, undisclosed funding sources underwriting travel, production and publicity.
When a sitting MP operates a parallel political machine in this way, Canadians deserve to know who is bankrolling it and why.
Before entering Parliament, Jivani held senior roles in influential conservative institutions, including:
➡️The Macdonald-Laurier Institute which is part of the Atlas Network.
This is a U.S.-anchored web of libertarian and conservative think-tanks and donors.
➡️The Canada Strong and Free Network which is one of the central organising hubs of the modern conservative movement in Canada, heavily donor-supported and ideologically aligned with American conservative strategy.
These roles placed him in direct contact with major donors, PAC-adjacent networks, advocacy organisations and foreign-linked ideological networks.
Again: none of this proves who is funding Restore the North. It establishes the ecosystem and the incentive for outside groups to underwrite such a tour.
Canadians are not dealing with a typical constituency outreach program. This is a national ideological campaign run by a sitting MP, structured through a separate political brand, without public disclosure of funding or sponsors.
