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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

QLC works day in, day out, to end abortion in Quebec, and bring forth a society that defends faith, family and life, from conception to natural death. Please consider giving today >>.

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.

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.

Late-term abortion is “rare” in Canada, we are told. What is the reality?

The Canadian Medical Association Journal recently published an article calling for a change in the recording of stillbirths, due to the fact that Canada's figures are abnormally high compared to other countries because abortions after 20 weeks are counted as stillbirths... The article mentions a stillbirth rate more than double that of other countries with similar economies!

This obviously leads us to wonder whether babies are being left to die after being expelled from the womb. A study conducted in Quebec and published in 2024 revealed that 11.2% of babies aborted in the second trimester were still alive at birth.

On the same subject, the media reported that in South Korea, a woman and two doctors were sentenced to prison for the murder of a baby, receiving respectively sentences of three years with probation, four years, and six years. The woman, who was 36 weeks pregnant, obtained an abortion from these doctors, which consisted of extracting the baby by caesarean section and killing it in a freezer, according to court documents. As the baby was alive outside its mother's womb, the case fell under the country's infanticide laws.

On a lighter note, good news comes from south of the border. In its March 2 ruling Mirabelli v. Bonta, the U.S. Supreme Court recognized the right of parents to educate their children without state interference, condemning California for “transitioning” children in school without their parents' knowledge.

On this day, March 4, 2026, the 40 Days for Life campaign are underway, beginning on Ash Wednesday and ending on Palm Sunday. Fifteen days have already passed, with 25 remaining. Under the leadership of our colleague Brian Jenkins, the 40 Days in Montreal are an event of prayer, witness, and offering help of great importance. They ensure a constant pro-life presence in the very vicinity of these abortion clinics where unborn children are killed. If you live nearby, will you give even one hour of your time in a week to participate in this life-saving work?

For more information, contact Brian Jenkins at (438) 930-8643.

Brian with participants in the 40 Days.

Don't forget our petition against the C-9 censorship bill. Censorship is already strong enough in Canada that we shouldn't let it get any worse. The case of British Columbia school board trustee Barry Neufeld, who was fined $750,000 for his bold criticism of teaching LGBT ideology to children, should serve as a warning to us all.

Finally, I wholeheartedly invite you to register for our Génération Vie event, which will take place on April 25 in Montreal.

The Government of Quebec is currently defending itself before the Superior Court for having banned in June 2023 a Christian event under the pretext that its organizers were "anti-abortion" (i.e.: pro-life).

This ban was originally the initiative of Caroline Proulx, then Minister of Tourism, who was reported by a journalist (don’t be mistaken, their role is not so much to report news as to provoke events and influence) the upcoming holding of the event "Rallye Foi, Feu, Liberté" organized by Harvest Ministries International at the Quebec City Convention Centre.

Upon reading sentences like "the most dangerous place for a child in Canada is its mother’s womb" on the "Harvest Ministries website" (or at least a site that was owned by HMI at the time), Proulx felt "shocked" and forbade the event from taking place. At the time, François Legault fully supported his minister’s gesture: "We will not allow anti-abortion groups to be able to perform large shows in public organims."

Now, in court, defending herself against HMI’s lawsuit for discrimination, Proulx is giving a rather strange speech if it doesn’t reveal her mentality. According to Proulx, whose indignation La Presse reports:

"It’s completely false to claim that the most dangerous place for a child in Canada is his mother’s womb, she said. What this just says, [...] is that women are dangerous."

Let’s stop for a moment. According to the article in La Presse, Ms. Proulx is indignant at the conclusion that one can draw from the premises, but has not bothered to refute the relevance of these premises. If the unborn child is a child in the same way as the child already born, then yes the uterus is a statistically dangerous place for the child since one pregnancy out of five* ends in abortion, a practice that reaps its sinister harvest of about 100,000 babies in Canada per year. Are women then «dangerous»? A number of them are, and for their unborn child since they have it killed. When a practice is not prohibited by law, whatever its immorality, unfortunately a larger or smaller portion of the population will resort to it.

Proulx to outbid: "It’s against the values of the State. The State is resolutely pro-choice and we must ensure as a government that this message is very clear to the population.” We will have understood it...

Proulx also read on the site that several leaders were under "diabolical" influence. The site in question states, according to Proulx: "We pray for a reform that leads to the rewriting of the laws of the country and declare that God will have dominion from coast to coast".

Proulx had some amazing words about this last passage:

“God will not rewrite, Your Honour, the laws in Quebec, and God will not dictate to women in Quebec how and when they can dispose of their bodies.”

Are these the words of an atheist? But she would then have said that God did not exist, that invoking him was therefore not relevant to the drafting of laws. His statement implies that God exists, but that He does not have a say in public and private conduct. This discourse is more that of revolt against God than that of unbelief. When we understand this, we understand the virulence of secularism in Quebec, and we also understand that what drives the government today is not so much atheism, as it defends itself for that matter, but antitheism.

But if God does not "rewrite" the laws of the nation, what will happen to it?

We published about what had outraged Caroline Proulx and about her reaction two posts on Facebook. Don’t hesitate to express your opinion below!

I also kindly ask you, if it has not already been done, to sign our petition against the censorship law C-9.

Finally, I invite you to register for our new Génération Vie event which will take place on April 25th, come in large numbers!

*Taking miscarriages into account, otherwise the proportion of abortions in relation to live births is about 1/4.
