On the occasion of Quebec's National Holiday, the Saint‑Jean‑Baptiste, we want first of all to wish you and your loved ones a beautiful and happy day.

This feast bears the name of a man of courage. John the Baptist was not afraid to tell the truth to the powerful of his time. He openly rebuked King Herod for his adultery, and he paid for it with his life. His example reminds us of a truth the world often prefers to forget: no ruler is above the law of God, and true courage consists in recalling it, even when it comes at a high cost.

It was precisely in this spirit that our event “60 for Quebec” was held this past Saturday, June 20, in the heart of Quebec City.

From noon to 2 p.m., sixty people dressed in black walked in silence, from the Jeanne‑d'Arc garden to the National Assembly. Sixty people for the 60 abortions committed every day in Quebec. Each one carried the portrait of a child who could have been born, those faces drawn by Michelle Diann, a woman who herself experienced abortion and who learned to mourn her child by drawing him.

The procession unfolded in calm and dignity. There were no counter‑protesters. And we wish to commend the work of the Quebec City police, who closed the streets and escorted the procession on motorcycles, with a professionalism for which we are very grateful to them. At the end of the walk, the participants shared a fraternal meal in a Quebec City hotel hall, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.

At the foot of the statue of Joan of Arc, we recalled a very simple idea. This young woman had the mission of having the king of France crowned, but above all of reminding him that the true king was Christ. The true leader is the one who knows whom he must follow.

This is what unites Saint‑Jean‑Baptiste, Joan of Arc, and our march of June 20. Like John the Baptist, we publicly call out the powerful. Like Joan of Arc, we remind those who govern us that true authority is exercised on one's knees before someone greater than oneself. A government that takes the Gospel as its guide governs better.

Some may ask: why expose ourselves in this way? Because those who agree to stand up, publicly, for the truth do good, both to themselves and to society as a whole. John the Baptist gave his life, and his witness still enlightens the world. Joan of Arc sacrificed everything, and France emerged free from it, for a time. In our own much more modest measure, this is what we do at Quebec Life Coalition, with you and with all those who march at our side: we step forward, we expose ourselves, for faith, family, and life, from conception to natural death. And we believe that this is, in the end, what is best for all.

Our march had a very concrete purpose. In front of the National Assembly, we symbolically presented a petition asking the Government of Quebec to finally recognize post‑abortion trauma. Thousands of women suffer in silence after an abortion: depression, anguish, guilt, grief. Many never truly chose, and almost none today find any real support. Our petition calls for two simple and just steps: an awareness campaign, and a real care program for these women, throughout Quebec.

You will find more photos from the day, as well as the short video of the event, on our Facebook page. Please feel free to share it with those around you:

On this Saint‑Jean‑Baptiste, let us follow the example of the saint who gives it its name: let us speak the truth with courage and with charity, and remind our age that God remains the true Head of State.

Happy Saint‑Jean‑Baptiste to you all.

For Life,

The Senate’s amendment to Bill C-9 was just passed today by the House of Commons by a vote of 189 to 128; the bill now only needs royal assent to become law.

We have already discussed Bill C-9 at length; I will simply reiterate here that this “hatred” law will likely be used by activists to persecute their political opponents, particularly Christians. The definition of “hatred” in Bill C-9 is rather vague; it is defined there as an “emotion.” Why, then, condemn an emotion if “hatred” — understood as the will to cause harm — is already condemned in practice by existing laws? After all, when one person has caused harm to another, the courts will determine whether the harm was caused intentionally.

This email marks the end of our early-summer fundraising campaign, which has a goal of $20,000. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we have raised $19,006. A big thank you! We’re only $994 short of reaching our goal. Donate today. >>

Reducing “hatred” to a mere emotion opens the door to many questionable interpretations; just look at how the Liberals see “hatred” everywhere. Let’s not forget that Marc Miller, Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture, considers certain passages of the Bible to be “hateful.”

It’s also worth noting that Liberal MP John-Paul Danko cited “anti-abortion hate” during parliamentary debates as an example of the kind of speech that Bill C-9 should target... It was this same Danko who recently accused Conservative Representative Vincent Ho of “deliberately generating hatred” because Ho had asked during a committee hearing what “the definition of a woman” was. Looking at Mr. Danko’s remarks, one wonders whether he himself does not harbor a certain emotion characterized by the very intensity and extremity described in Bill C-9.

With laws like these, we must be more vigilant than ever. We’re still $994 short of our goal — thank you for supporting our work.>>

Simon Jolin-Barrette’s draft Quebec constitution ended up in the basket as this parliamentary session drew to a close, as Christine Fréchette’s government chose not to close debates to override the blockade by the Quebec Liberal Party and Québec Solidaire and proceed to a vote.

At least the secular nature of the state will not be engraved in the marble of a constitution, and the “right” to euthanasia will not find its way into the Quebec Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms. It was in this same abandoned draft constitution that the “right” to abortion was initially included, before being rejected following a far-fetched debate among abortion advocates.

Let’s not give up; we must do everything in our power to establish a culture of life in Quebec.

For Life,
Augustin Hamilton

Ten years ago tomorrow — June 17, 2016 — the Canadian euthanasia law received royal assent, and the country wrote assisted death into the law of the land. But the death-clock started earlier in Canada. Months before Ottawa, back in December 2015, Quebec had already opened the door — the first place in Canada to write euthanasia into law and to call it "care.” Quebec beat Canada to it. Quebec led; the country followed. And a decade on, Quebec does not merely lead Canada. It leads the world.

Perhaps you saw the New York Times this week. The world's most influential newspaper held Quebec up as the global capital of medically assisted death: 8 percent of all deaths in the province, and in one region, Lanaudière, more than 13 of every 100 people now dying this way. The reporter toured the rooms built for it — paneled like boutique hotels, paid for by local donors who raised the millions without difficulty.

How did the cradle of Catholicism in Canada become the world leader in putting its sick and its old to death?

We are currently nearing the end of our summer fundraising campaign. Our goal is $20,000 and, as I write, we have reached 77 percent of it, $15,400. That leaves $4,600, and just two days, today and tomorrow, to raise it. Please give today >>

There is a telephone number that many people would like to see shut down.

For more than a decade now, it rings between eighty and a hundred times a year. On the other end of the line, almost always a woman. Often alone. Sometimes without a roof over her head. Always facing a choice that society would like to make obvious to her: to kill the child she carries.

That number belongs to Enceinte et inquiète (Pregnant and Worried), the pregnancy-support service that Quebec Life Coalition founded more than ten years ago and has kept alive ever since.

Let me tell you about the past few weeks, without names, for discretion is part of our work.

We are five days from the end of our three-week early-summer fundraising campaign. Thank you for generously supporting our Enceinte et inquiète listening service. Give generously today.

Spreading the Culture of Life in Quebec is a necessary task, given that so few voices are raised in Quebec to defend the unborn child or to denounce the evil of euthanasia. If we don’t do it, who will?

While abortion is a subject that people in Quebec hardly dare to discuss negatively, we are, however, seeing increasing openness among the general public and certain influencers regarding the issue of LGBT ideology. Indeed, many are questioning the imposition of this ideology on the entire population, particularly in schools.

One of our recent articles post on the suspension of the Alexanders, both teachers at an Ontario school, for failing to “celebrate and affirm LGBTQ issues.”

This post, the most popular one over the past 28 days, has been widely appreciated by many readers who left comments in support of the Alexander couple. Note that our primary “audience” is in Quebec.

We are in the midst of a fundraising campaign; we need your help to spread the Culture of Life in Quebec. We have reached $6,570 out of $20,000; we still need $13,430, and there are only 8 days left in our campaign. Please give generously. >>

It is said these days that the mainstream medias are losing more and more influence with the public, to the benefit of alternative media and influencers who largely carry out their work through social media. The media had (and still has) tremendous power to influence public opinion; if public trust is shifting toward alternative media and their networks, we must therefore give this area our special attention.

The issue of transgenderism resonates strongly with the people of Quebec; many find it appalling that children are being mutilated to “transition” them.

Admittedly, transgender activists abound on social media and have not hesitated to come and disparage our views, but they have found many protagonists to debate with under this post.

Unfortunately, the debate isn’t always very healthy, as our opponents often display a near-total lack of respect. In fact, we occasionally have to ban trolls. Keeping our page clean is no easy task given the heavy flow of comments.

We need your help to keep our pro-life and pro-family advocacy going on social media. Please support our fundraising campaign by making a donation. >>

Finally, it is worth noting that the demographic issue strikes a chord with Quebecers. For a long time now, Quebec has not been having enough children. Now, the number of deaths exceeds the number of births, and the fear of disappearing as a people is palpable.

Under this type of post, we see numerous testimonials from fathers and mothers who have had several children, with some noting that they face hostility because they have more than two...

Finally, despite everything, we manage to reach a significant number of internet users with our posts on sensitive topics such as euthanasia. Even if the number of “likes” is low, the number of “views” indicates that our message regarding the shocking news of a doctor evaluating a patient for euthanasia in front of a Tim Hortons was received by a significant number of people.

For this work to bear visible fruit, it must continue over the long term; it requires a great deal of patience and hope, and your support in this effort is invaluable!

For Life,
Augustin Hamilton

P.S. Will you help us raise the remaining $13,430? Thank you for giving generously. >>

In Ontario alone, authorities have identified 428 red flags regarding possible violations of the Criminal Code in the administration of “medical assistance in dying.” Four hundred twenty-eight cases, documented between 2018 and 2023. And not a single one was reported to the police. Not a single one.

Perhaps the most chilling thing is not the number, but the silence that greeted it. This report has been public for nearly two years. During that time, at the national suicide prevention hotline, nearly 70,000 people in distress themselves mentioned “assisted suicide” as a possible way out. People who dialed a number hoping to be held back from the brink, and whom our times have taught to see death as a respectable way out.

This email continues our early-summer fundraising campaign, with a goal of $20,000. With ten days to go, we’ve raised $4,841. The road ahead is long, and time is short. Please donate today >>

While euthanasia spirals out of control, Ottawa is cracking down on free speech. On June 4th, the Senate passed Bill C-9 on “hate speech” by a vote of 45 to 13; the bill now returns to the House of Commons. At the request of the Bloc Québécois, the “good faith” defense that had previously protected the expression of religious belief was removed. Minister Marc Miller even went so far as to describe certain passages of the Bible as “manifestly hateful.” This is where we stand: the state is giving itself the means to prosecute believers who speak aloud what millions of people have held to be true for millennia.

Monitoring these bills, analyzing them, raising the alarm, and mobilizing senators: this is exactly the work your donation makes possible. We need your support >>

And then there’s what’s being sung. Lately, one chorus has been on repeat: “Soleil bleu” by the singer Luiza — a delightful melody, and that’s precisely the trap. Hidden beneath its charm lies a creed: “let me live as I please,” “I’m reinventing myself,” “without baggage,” “free from time,” “defying my history.” The rejection of heritage set to music. Yet a youth persuaded to leave “without baggage” has a demographic name: a plummeting birth rate, the hundreds of thousands of abortions performed each year amid indifference. A civilization that teaches its daughters to yearn for departure should not be surprised to find itself without descendants. We have devoted a comprehensive analysis to this song, published this week, because our role is not merely to count the dead: it is to name what, in the spirit of the times, prepares the path for them.

The month of June, moreover, does not belong to “pride.” In our heritage, it is dedicated to the Sacred Heart, whose Carillon flag — the direct ancestor of our fleurdelisé — still bears its mark. Where pride leads to ruin, humility, on the other hand, accomplishes great things.

None of this work happens on its own, and nothing gets done without resources. Please give generously and sacrificially today >>

I’ll just say it again: $4,841 out of $20,000, with ten days left. No one else can step in and do this for you. Thank you for joining us on this journey >>

For Life,

Georges Buscemi
President of Quebec Life Coalition

How Luiza’s hit song, set to a lighthearted tune, sums up everything a civilization must first forget in order to stop having children.

Some songs are content to simply please. Then there are those that, perhaps unwittingly, recite a creed. "Soleil Bleu," by the electro-reggae duo Bleu Soleil and the singer Luiza, belongs to the latter category. Released in April 2025, the song became the summer hit, shared hundreds of thousands of times on social media. Some credited it with saving them from depression. The song transcended the status of a commercial hit to become a philosophy of life. It is precisely for this reason that it deserves a closer listen. What millions of people hum with their eyes closed eventually forms a collective consciousness, which ultimately determines whether a society will have heirs.

Let's give credit where credit is due. The song is well-crafted. The vocals are beautiful, the chorus sticks in your mind from the first listen, and the atmosphere is uplifting. However, this success is not a mitigating factor; it is precisely what makes the piece so formidable. An ugly anthem appeals to and converts no one. It is the beauty of the song that opens hearts, and through this open door, the creed slips in without knocking. The grace of the melody does not excuse the message; rather, it carries it. The gentler the packaging, the more the content goes unnoticed and takes effect. This is why we must listen to this song not as we savor a success but as we examine a mechanism.

Moreover, Luiza is no amateur. Born in Rennes in 1995 to a Brazilian mother, a dancer, and a French father, a double bass player, she trained in opera singing, the harp, and the piano at the conservatory. She also attended the School of Fine Arts in La Réunion. Luiza embodies cultured, cosmopolitan, gifted Western youth who are deeply convinced that one must break free from one’s roots. She wrote most of the text on a commuter train after a breakup. It's the perfect image of the times: the credo of a generation written while in transit, belonging to neither place.

Note: Since Bill C-9 was passed by the Senate on June 4th with amendments by a vote of 45 in favor, 13 against, and two abstentions, it must now go back to the House of Commons. If the House of Commons passes the bill as is, it will become law.

The censorship bill C-9 is a strange stew where, at times, ingredients are thrown in, and at other times, they are taken out. As of June 4th the stew is on the stove; senators will vote on it in the third, and final if the vote is positive, reading.

C-9, the bill that condemns “hatred”! But what kind of hatred?

Introduced by the Liberals, it initially defined hatred as follows: “an emotion that involves detestation or vilification and that is stronger than disdain or dislike”.

Now “hate” is defined as such in C-9: “emotion of an intense and extreme nature that is clearly associated with vilification and detestation”.

Condemn vilification? Absolutely! As for “detestation,” it’s synonymous with “hatred” (so much for clarity…). But what’s absurd here is that an emotion is, by definition, passive and triggered by an external cause; one feels an emotion. And if the emotion is both “intense and extreme,” it must be due to an external cause that is more or less proportional.

The danger of such a vague definition is that it could be exploited by unscrupulous activists and judges.

Furthermore, C-9 imposes new penalties on top of those already applied to hate crimes, thereby creating disproportionate penalties.

Fortunately, the Liberals removed the provision from the bill that would have eliminated the need for the Attorney General’s approval to initiate a prosecution; that provision would have opened the door to many abusive prosecutions by overzealous officials...

The C-9 censorship bill is undergoing its third reading in the Senate today. Right now, senators are reviewing C-9 one last time and will vote on it.

It is urgent that we make one final effort to express our opposition to the content of this bill.

Call your province’s senators right now. Although they are busy, their staff members are receiving messages and could text them to let them know they are being flooded with calls opposing C-9.

C-9, the bill that condemns “hatred”! But what kind of hatred?

In the bill, “hatred” is defined as follows in C-9: “emotion that involves detestation or vilification and that is stronger than disdain or dislike.”

Condemning vilification? Perfect! But detestation is synonymous with hatred (so much for clarity... ). But what’s absurd here is that an emotion is, by definition, passive and triggered by an external cause; one feels an emotion. And if the emotion is “both intense and extreme,” it must be due to an external cause of more or less proportional magnitude.

The danger of such a vague definition is that it could be exploited by unscrupulous activists and judges.

Furthermore, Bill C-9 imposes new penalties on top of those already applied to hatred crimes, thereby creating disproportionate penalties.

Furthermore, Bill C-9 removes the good faith defense that protects religious speech from charges of spreading “hate.” It is worth noting that, in this regard, Marc Miller, Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture, stated during a hearing of the Justice and Human Rights Committee: “In Leviticus, Deuteronomy, Romans — there’s other passages — there’s clear hatred towards, for example, homosexuals… there should perhaps be discretion for prosecutors to press charges… there are clearly passages in religious texts that are clearly hateful.” It is curious that he cited only the Bible as a source of “hate,” but it is evident that for certain high-ranking liberals, Christians are a priority target.

An amendment introduced by a senator, one of the last appointed by Justin Trudeau, proposed criminalizing the “denial of the residential school system.” The rather vague amendment did not specify what would constitute “denial.” Would asking for proof of the existence of “unmarked graves” — none of which have been discovered to date — have been a crime?

Fortunately, this amendment was rejected, along with all the other proposed amendments. The text to be voted on in the Senate is therefore similar to the one passed in the House of Commons and will become law if adopted today.

We ask you once again: call your senators. This is the last chance to stop the creation of a new tool for persecuting political opponents.

Call your senators>>

With most sincere thanks,
Augustin Hamilton

In this wonderful month, let's fly the beautiful Carillon Sacré-Cœur flag, a symbol of Quebec's rich heritage.

The flag originated from the Carillon banner, said to have been present at the Battle of Fort Carillon in 1758, where the French defeated the British. The Carillon banner was revived in the mid-19th century as a symbol of French Canadians' struggle against assimilation within the British Empire. Later, in 1902, Father Elphège Filiatrault, the parish priest of Saint Jude, drew inspiration from the famous banner to create the Carillon Sacré-Cœur flag, which features a silver cross on an azure background adorned with four tilted fleurs-de-lis pointing towards a Sacred Heart. This flag quickly became popular among French Canadians. The flag of the Quebec province, adopted in 1948, was based on the Carillon Sacré-Cœur.

That is fitting, as June is the month dedicated to the Sacred Heart, not “pride.” The Sacred Heart and "pride" are opposites. As Christ said, "I am meek, and humble of heart" (Matthew 11:29). What is humility? It is the submission of one’s will to God’s will. "Pride" (translated from the English "pride," which also means "arrogance") is, on the contrary, the preference of one's own will over God's. The term "pride" has essentially been chosen to celebrate all these disordered passions gathered under the acronym LGBT(∞).

We are told that LGBT propaganda is imposed on us in the name of "inclusion" and "love" in the media, leisure activities, and even schools. However, inclusion is not a virtue in itself. You cannot include everything, especially when it comes to teaching children practices that are rather far from natural, and of which they would otherwise have no idea. True love seeks only the genuine good of others.

So, what is the Sacred Heart, really? It is the burning love of Christ, who sacrificed his life for us. Our ancestors lived in accordance with this love and humility, raising large, happy families. Humility achieves great things, while pride leads to ruin.

So, instead of flying the flag of pride in June, let us fly the flag of the Sacred Heart.
