  • Au Canada, le rassemblement de l'unité (Unity Rally en anglais) réfère à un rassemblement de plusieurs dizaines de milliers de Canadiens tenu le 27 octobre 1995 à la Place du Canada, à Montréal. Les manifestants étaient présents pour célébrer un Canada uni et pour inciter les Québécois à voter, 3 jours plus tard, « non » au deuxième référendum sur la souveraineté du Québec. Cet événement fut le plus grand rassemblement politique de l'histoire du Canada. Le rassemblement a été le sujet d'une controverse considérable, notamment parce qu'il fut en partie commandité par des corporations de l'extérieur du Québec, commandites jugée illégale par le directeur général des élections du Québec.
