Generation Life: On April 25, Quebec Comes Together

Thanks to you, we have reached our $20,000 goal for our Lent / Spring 2026 fundraising campaign. Thank you!

Your generosity is a clear sign that, across Quebec and beyond, men and women are refusing decline and wish to work toward something greater.

And that is precisely what we now turn to.

On April 25, in Montreal, Génération Vie (Generation Life) will take place.

This French-language event is not just a conference.

It is an attempt to contribute to a Quiet Restoration of Quebec.

For too long, our Western societies have been organized around a central principle: so-called “freedom,” understood without limits, without direction, without purpose. The result is before our eyes: abortion, euthanasia, the redefinition of marriage, declining birth rates, weakened families, loss of meaning, and cultural uncertainty.

We believe renewal is possible.

But it must take place around a solid core:
faith, family, and life, from conception to natural death.

Like Christ, whose Resurrection we will commemorate this Easter Sunday, we believe that Quebec can rise again -- spiritually, morally, and demographically.

And that this return to Life begins with truths sown like leaven in the dough.

Generation Life is one of those moments where we sow.

We therefore invite you to be present.

Register now:
==> www.generationvie.ca

And above all: invite others

  • friends
  • members of your church or parish
  • colleagues
  • members of your family

Hundreds of people who share your convictions will be gathered. Your presence matters, as does that of those you bring with you.

You can also be an ambassador for the event:

Every action helps grow the movement.

Quebec is not condemned.

But it must be refocused around what makes a society live.

It is to this work that you are already contributing. Thank you for taking part.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Wishing you a fruitful journey toward Easter,


Georges Buscemi

President
Quebec Life Coalition

P.S. The National March for Life in Ottawa will take place on May 14:

And the March for Life in Quebec City will take place on May 30.
Save the date -- more details to come soon.

When we "lose", we win.

We are in the last days of our Spring fundraising campaign – with a mere 5 days left, we’ve so far collected $16 468 of our $20,000 goal. That leaves $3,532 to go. Thanks for reading on to understand why your donation is crucial to changing the culture in Quebec, Canada, and the rest of the world. Donate today.

Last Thursday I was on a call with a pro-life colleague. We discussed the news of the passage of the anti-Christian, anti-free speech Bill C-9 in the House of Commons. The bill is now all but law, having only to pass a Senate that has been stacked with Justin Trudeau Liberals. The decisive vote can happen any time now.

My colleague plaintively observed: "We're always losing."

In a way, he's right. We are losing judicial and legislative battles, one after the other. And yet, I told my colleague that I wouldn't call these total losses. For in spite of the defeats, our efforts at opposing evil are being noticed by many thousands in the case of C-9, and as in other battles, our movement has grown—substantially: our supporter numbers are up, our contacts are more numerous, and the number of people aware of the rot in government and in our culture has dramatically increased. So yes, we are losing battles, but through these battles we are building the means to win the war.

The “hate speech” bill is on the verge of being adopted

The controversial Bill C-9 is now before the House of Commons for a final vote before being sent to the Senate.

Today at 3 p.m., the House of Commons began the process (presentations of various bills, speeches, etc.) leading up to a vote on this bill, which, if adopted without amendment, will significantly broaden the definition of “hate” while increasing the associated penalties.

The Liberals, supported by the Bloc Québécois (one wonders what purpose they serve...), have Christians in their crosshairs, with Minister Marc Miller having designated certain passages in the Bible regarding homosexuality as “hateful” and their citation as grounds for prosecution.

Meanwhile, Bill 21 on secularism has been brought before the Supreme Court of Canada; its opponents claim it infringes on the rights of religious minorities, while its supporters argue that it is part of Quebecers’ choice to free themselves from Canada’s “religious yoke.”

This case goes far beyond the scope of Quebec’s secularism law; beyond Bill 21, it is the notwithstanding clause — which allows legislatures to exempt a law from the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and from judicial review — that is at issue.

However, whether Canadian multiculturalism or Quebec secularism prevails, the same moral and religious indifference remains. Both stem from the same concept of state neutrality towards religion. In doing so, these two visions reject our heritage as a guide for society, with all the woes that follow: abortion, euthanasia, transgenderism, declining birth rates, etc.

Quebec Life Coalition, however, proposes a third way that is neither multiculturalism nor secularism: that of a Christian society whose culture truly connects with our roots and our history. A society that will protect life from conception to natural death. Why Christianity? Because it is true and because it is the only remedy that will truly heal Quebec society of its ills. As we see, the same causes produce the same effects; not only Quebec, but Canada and the rest of the West are suffering from this loss of meaning that has followed the rejection of Christianity. Moreover, “When a society is perishing, the wholesome advice to give to those who would restore it is to call it to the principles from which it sprang,” wrote Leo XIII in Rerum novarum.

I invite you to join us at Génération Vie on April 25; this event aims to strengthen ties among the various pro-life and pro-family groups in Quebec.

Our fundraising campaign has reached $15,115 of our $20,000 goal; we still need to raise $4,885 to reach our target. A huge thank you to all the donors who have contributed — thanks to your generosity, we have collected three-quarters of our goal. If you haven’t donated yet, or if your heart is moved to give again, we invite you to help us reach the remaining $4,885.

For Life,

“Presence matters.” What we saw at the UN—and what we do next

We are continuing today our Spring fundraising campaign – with a little over 1 week left, we’ve so far collected $11,822 of our $20,000 goal. Thanks for reading on to understand why your donation is crucial to changing the culture in Quebec, Canada, and the rest of the world. Donate today.

We at Quebec Life Coalition just returned from the United Nations in New York—where the 70th session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW70) wrapped up this week.

I want to tell you something frankly: sending our delegates wasn’t a “nice-to-have.”

It was necessary.

This year, QLC made the deliberate decision to send two women delegates from Quebec to CSW—joining a wider Campaign Life Coalition pro-life delegation (about ten in total). 

And one of our delegates — whom I will identify simply as DS, since in today’s Quebec the public defence of the right to life can carry real professional risks — returned home and wrote you a letter that I believe you should read.

Read DS's letter here>>

DS described her week at the UN as a true before and after moment—an experience that changed how she sees politics, human dignity, and the direction of our culture.

Here is the point DS drove home, and it’s the point I’m asking you to act on today:

What gets debated at the UN does not stay at the UN.
The language tested there becomes the language repeated everywhere.

And the “new normal” eventually arrives at our doorstep—here in Quebec and in the rest of Canada.

DS put it in a phrase that belongs on our wall:

“Presence matters. Formation matters. Representation matters.”

That’s the heart of this email.

Because at CSW, we saw exactly why presence matters.

A week at the United Nations that changed everything — and why your support must continue


The QLC and CLC team at the United Nations.

By DS

Dear friend and supporter of Quebec Life Coalition,

Did you ever have an experience that changed the way you view the world — an experience that created a clear before and after in your understanding of politics, human dignity, and the future of our societies?

A week ago, I had such an experience.

Before attending the 70th session of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) in March 2026 as a French-Canadian pro-life delegate representing Quebec through Quebec Life Coalition and Campaign Life Coalition, I must admit that my engagement with global politics was marked by a certain resignation. International debates about legislation, social trends, and ideological movements often seemed distant from everyday life.

What I encountered during that intense week at the United Nations was nothing less than what I can only describe as a profound awakening — almost a cosmic awakening, an existential turning point that reshaped how I perceive the cultural and legal battles unfolding before our eyes.

Pro-family Facebook momentum surges in Quebec -- and courageous voices are rising

Since September 2025, Quebec Life Coalition has returned in force to Facebook, after years of having largely abandoned the platform because of suspected “shadowbanning” — or unofficial suppression — of our controversial opinions on faith, family and life. It simply did not seem a judicious use of our resources to invest time on a platform that appeared to be limiting our message. We therefore remained active elsewhere.

However, we chose to return after several months of relative absence because, in 2025, we began to notice a resurgence of voices you could describe as “on the right” regaining traction on Facebook. It seems that certain broader developments — such as the re-election of Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter — have contributed to a climate in which Facebook is allowing more dissident (that is, non-progressive) voices back onto its platform. Facebook remains, by far, one of the most widely used social media platform in the world, including here in Quebec.

There appears to have been a high-level shift toward allowing conservatives and Christians to participate again in the Facebook “town square.” For the time being, at least, that shift has been decisive.

Since our full return in September, our reach has grown dramatically — from an average of about 1,000 daily views on our Facebook page to roughly 78,000 views per day. View by view, we have been making a tangible mark on Quebec’s social-media landscape.

Last week, two developments made that impact even more pronounced.

We are now one week into our Lenten fundraising campaign. Many supporters have already contributed quickly and generously, which has been inspiring to witness. If you have not yet given, and you appreciate our work defending faith, family and life — from conception to natural death — we warmly invite you to make your gift today.

The first story concerns a hair-salon owner who was brought before a human-rights tribunal for failing to offer “non-binary” haircut options on his website. The judge imposed a $500 fine for this alleged violation. Initially, the owner considered simply paying and moving on. Encouraged by those around him, however, he chose instead to challenge the decision in court.

When Quebec Life Coalition learned of this case on the morning of March 11, we immediately recognized its significance: an ordinary Quebec entrepreneur was publicly standing up to prevailing LGBTQ ideological pressures. We published a Facebook post applauding his decision — and it quickly gained extraordinary traction.

The post appeared on screens over one million times, received about 11,000 “likes,” and generated hundreds of positive comments. In effect, an estimated one in ten Quebecers encountered this encouraging news through our page.

We are also pleased to learn that the Association Coiffure Québec has agreed to help cover the salon owner’s legal costs. We will keep you informed in the coming weeks as this important case unfolds.

At this stage, just under $10,000 has been raised in our Lenten campaign. We still have approximately $10,000 to go. If you are able to help us reach our goal, please consider making your donation today.

“Seeing reality as it is”: an interview with Georges Buscemi


Georges Buscemi addressing the crowd during the first Quebec March for Life, June 1st, 2024.

In this interview from March 12th, 2026, Georges Buscemi, president and spokesperson for Quebec Life Coalition, explains to an anthropology student at Cégep de Lévis the foundations of his commitment, his organization’s vision, and his perspective on the major moral, cultural, and political issues of our time.

Presentation of Quebec Life Coalition

Student: To begin, could you introduce yourself and explain what your movement is, its foundations, and its core values?

Georges Buscemi: My name is Georges Buscemi. I am the president and spokesperson for Quebec Life Coalition. We are a Christian organization whose goal is to foster the emergence of a Christian society that defends faith, family, and life, from conception to natural death.

Georges Buscemi’s specific role within the organization

Student: As spokesperson, what is your specific role within the organization?

Georges Buscemi: In a small organization, employees and volunteers wear many hats. So I’m not just president and spokesperson. I’m also, among other things, fundraiser, writer, web technician, and partly responsible for social media.

There are a huge number of tasks to accomplish. But if I had to summarize my main goal, I would say this: to communicate our principles, our philosophy, and our faith to the general public, in the hope that one day these beliefs and principles will be embraced and put into practice on the political, cultural, and social levels.

I died that day… And yet I was still alive. So what to do?

We are continuing today our Spring fundraising campaign – with a little over 2 weeks left, we’ve so far collected 1,551$ of our 20,000 goal. Thanks for reading on to understand why your donation is crucial to changing the culture in Quebec and Canada. Donate today.

In the fall of 2024, Quebec Life Coalition was in court, trying to overturn the Quebec government’s bubble-zone law, which forces pro-lifers to stand 50 metres or more away from abortion centres.

These anti-speech zones prevent any kind of sidewalk counselling — a practice where one or two people remain on the public sidewalk near abortion facilities to offer help or alternatives to the women entering the “clinic.”

Quebec Life Coalition had its day in court. We wanted to show the Superior Court judge that our prayer vigils and sidewalk counselling outside abortion facilities in Montreal were not “harassment” or “intimidation,” but charitable work aimed at offering women real alternatives — and, if possible, persuading them not to have their child killed.

In the end, our attempt to have the bubble-zone law struck down failed. The judge ruled it “constitutional.” The 50-metre bubble zones remain in force to this day.

Some would say the effort was wasted. We disagree.

Quebec Life Coalition seeks to bring light into every arena of society — including the courts. Judges, lawyers, our opponents (abortion workers and clinic owners were present during the trial), and even the journalists covering the case all need to hear the truth about the sanctity of human life, spoken plainly and without apology.

And that is what we did.

We have now finally obtained portions of the trial transcripts. Today, I can share with you part of the testimony I personally gave before the judge, the government lawyers, and the abortionists present in the room.

Final Push Needed to Stop This “Speech-Control” Law

We have just learned that the Liberal government, supported by the Bloc Québécois, is rushing Bill C-9 toward a final vote in the House of Commons — possibly as early as this Friday. Debate has been cut short. Committee study has been shut down. They are trying to force this deeply troubling “speech control” law through before public opposition can grow any stronger.

This tells us something important: they are worried. 
And it means we must act immediately.

One of the most dangerous elements of Bill C-9 is the removal of the long-standing religious exemption in the Criminal Code. This protection has allowed Canadians to express sincerely held religious convictions without fear of criminal prosecution. If it is removed, peaceful expression of biblical or moral beliefs on social issues could be investigated or even charged as “hate speech.”

Bill C-9 would also expand police powers to act on complaints about speech, including anonymous allegations made online. The chilling effect on freedom of expression could be profound.

We now have very little time left. Please use this form to contact your Member of Parliament right now. Your email or phone call could help stop this bill.

We are starting today, in the midst of many activities, our Lent Fundraiser. We are aiming to fundraise 20,000$ in the next three weeks.

I'll be giving more details in emails to come, but just to give you an inkling of what we are doing these days, here are just some of the activities we are engaged in to fight in Quebec and the rest of Canada for faith, family and life, from conception to natural death. I think you'll agree that your sacrificial donation will be well used by us:

First, just as I'm writing, two Quebec Life Coalition women representatives are working hard alongside their English-Canada counterparts at the UN in New York City, attending the various gatherings of the Commission for the Status of Women (CSW) conference. I just received these photos which I thought I would share. 

You see, these UN conferences are often used as venues to promote pro-abortion, pro-LGBT ideologies. But when our representatives get inside the room, you can be sure they ask very embarrassing questions, and deflate any attempts to pretend there's a consensus behind the pro-aboriton position. But attendance of these events comes with a big price-tag. Thank you for helping us cover these expenses. (I'll have much more to say about this UN work in a future email.)

2) We're actually very active in Quebec on Facebook. Just today, a post we published about a hair-dressing salon standing up to the transgender ideology has accumulated over six thousand likes, and climbing, as I write. This is not unusual for our page, which we maintain with the utmost diligence. There is no better way to get a large Quebec-and-Canada audience to read about pro-life issues than this. But this diligence comes with a price, so we hope you can donate today to help us continue this essential social media work.   

3) I'm in the midst of organizing Génération Vie (see below), which is a pro-life, pro-family conference that aims to federate Christians, pro-lifers, and pro-family advocates into one powerful force that can move mountains in Quebec, for the betterment of all. Stay tuned. But this conference requires funding from people like you to make it happen.

4) We've just organized two events in the short term (see entries below for details on these events):

One family event featuring archduke Rudolf of Habsburg-Lorraine, grandson of the last Austro-Hungarian Emperor. Father of 8, he will speak on "Building a strong family in a shattered world". 

The other event: March 17 will mark the beginning of a one-year countdown toward the planned legalization of euthanasia for mental illness alone. The slippery slope is here. That's why we're organizing a euthanasia protest on march 17 in Montreal (see below). 2026 should also be the year where Canada reaches the grim 100,000 milestone of deaths by euthansia. Your donation will help us continue launching initiatives like these to fight for dignified care at the end of life, without resorting to killing the physically --and soon mentally-- ill.

We need you. Thank you for supporting us; it is extremely appreciated.  Together, we are building a Culture of Life in Quebec.

Thanks for joining us in this mission!



God bless,


Georges Buscemi

P.S. Our Lent fundraiser starts today and goes on for 3 weeks. We're aiming to fundraise 20,000$. Please give today if you can.

URGENT: Contact Your MP Now to Stop Bill C-9

Time is running out.

The federal government is moving to shut down debate and rush Bill C-9 through Parliament within days. If this happens, Canadians may soon face a law that weakens protections for free speech and religious freedom.

One proposed amendment would remove the Criminal Code’s “religious text exemption.” This protection currently ensures that Canadians cannot be prosecuted for simply quoting or citing sacred texts in public discussion.

If the government succeeds in cutting off debate this week, the bill could be pushed through Parliament as early as the coming days.

We must act immediately.

Please take one minute right now to contact your Member of Parliament and urge them to:

  • Vote against the motion to cut off debate on Bill C-9

  • Keep the Criminal Code’s religious text exemption

  • Reject Bill C-9 in its entirety

Public pressure works. In the past, strong backlash from Canadians has forced governments to retreat from harmful policies. But it only works if people speak up quickly.
