I hope you had a merry St John's Day with your family and friends. St. John the Baptist is particularly celebrated in Quebec because St. Pius X gave him to the French Canadians as their patron saint. Surely, St. Pius X's gift of such a guide was priceless. May Saint John the Baptist, forerunner of Christ, give us the courage to speak the truth at all times and in all places and to defend the family with fervour, as he died a martyr for defending the sanctity of marriage.

A recent report published by Liberty Counsel Action estimates that around 40 tonnes of remains of aborted foetuses and abortifacients end up in American water every year. When a woman takes the "abortion pill" (which is in two parts), she flushes her aborted baby down the toilet. But wastewater filtration systems are not designed to deal with chemicals such as mifepristone or misoprostol, which are used in the abortion pill. This chemical waste is probably to have an effect on the fertility of people who drink city water. This is a source of pollution in addition to that from hormonal contraception, which also ends up in the sewage system. The abortion pill is an increasingly common method of abortion.

On a positive note, Quebec Public Security Minister François Bonnardel has announced that inmates of provincial prisons will be imprisoned in male or female facilities according to their "anatomical sex". However, transgender people who have undergone vaginoplasty (how horrible!), and are therefore castrated, will be incarcerated in women's prisons. It's a much better situation, nevertheless, than the previous one, where men claiming to be women could be locked up with women while retaining all their male attributes.

Vigil 365

The Vigil 365 is a prayer vigil where, every day for one or two hours, pro-lifers pray in a public place at a certain distance from an abortuary for the end of abortion.
