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.

The second story we highlighted involves a school teacher now suing the government. She claims that she was required to mislead parents regarding the gender identity of one of her students. According to her account, the child is referred to in one gender at home and treated as another at school — without the parents’ knowledge or consent! Unable in conscience to participate in this double discourse, she has launched legal action challenging the policy.

When we shared this development on Facebook, the response was immediate and supportive. Over 1,000 people “liked” the post within a short time. One comment alone — “Can we not send this teacher flowers?” — received more than 250 likes.

We thought that was an excellent suggestion.

In addition to sending a large bouquet through her lawyer (whom we know well), we decided to prepare a card — or rather, a booklet — signed by supporters across Quebec and Canada, expressing gratitude to this courageous woman. For the protection of the child’s identity, her name must remain confidential.

After making your donation to our Lenten campaign, I invite you to sign the card HERE, which we will deliver along with the bouquet. It is important to support those who follow their conscience and defend parental rights in Quebec.

God bless,

Génération Vie conference

On Saturday, April 25th, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., we invite you to join us in Montreal at 740 Roy Street (Sherbrooke metro station) for Génération Vie (formerly FestiVie). We are expecting up to 500 people: several expositions, committed speakers and panelists, and hundreds of pro-life and pro-family Quebecers who care deeply about faith, family, and life, from conception to natural death. It will be a true cultural and political crossroads to strengthen ties between pro-faith, pro-family, and pro-life actors from across the province, to exchange ideas, equip ourselves, and build together. Génération Vie is a must-attend event that is set to grow year after year — we invite you to join us on April 25th and contribute to this great gathering for the future of Quebec. The event is free, but donations will be welcome. Ample parking is available nearby.
The event will be held in French, with possible simultaneous translation (details to follow).

Advance registration is required here.

Ottawa March for Life

May 14th, 2025, 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.

The , long the largest annual protest on Parliament Hill, takes place in May to mark the Day of Infamy, when the 1969 omnibus bill opened up the floodgates to abortion. Pro-lifers rally in front of Parliament and march through downtown Ottawa, demanding that elected representatives fight for the right to life of every human being from conception to natural death.

40 Days for Life

The 40 Days for Life consists of 40 days and 12 hours per day of sidewalk vigils, usually in the vicinity of an abortion facility, to witness on behalf of the unborn child to passers-by and to offer help to women who are considering aborting their babies. The 40 Days begins on February 18th and ends on March 29th, it takes place at the corner of Berry and Sainte-Catherine in Montreal.
