Caroline Proulx.

Do you remember when Tourism Minister Caroline Proulx canceled an event organized by Harvest Ministries International at the Quebec City Convention Center in 2023?

After being informed by Sébastien Bovet, head of Radio-Canada’s parliamentary bureau, that the Protestant and pro-life group was going to hold an event at the convention center, Mrs. Proulx checked the websites linked in the event’s advertisements. (Yet another example of journalists seeking to influence politics and create a news story.)

To her horror! She read on HMI’s website that the group opposes abortion, stating that its decriminalization "has led to the abortion of some 4 million babies to date" and "has made the mother’s womb the most dangerous place for a child in Canada." Outraged by what she considered false information contrary to Quebec’s fundamental values (strange values that are causing French Canadians to gradually disappear...), she rushed to cancel the contract between HMI and the Convention Center. However, no regulation or law allowed her to cancel an event based on the contractors’ beliefs just a few days before the event was scheduled to take place.

Éric Duhaime.

"We have always been a pro-choice party, and that policy will not change in the slightest," Éric Duhaime recently assured. He added, "I can tell you that there will be no debate within our ranks on this issue."

So why does Mr. Duhaime feel the need to reassure the political and media establishment of his adherence to the dominant ideology? It's because we're in the pre-election period, a time when candidates' pasts are dragged out of the closet, and when candidates and their leaders are asked to burn a grain of incense at the altar of abortion.

It just so happens that Dominique Dumas, the Quebec Conservative Party candidate in Chutes-de-la-Chaudière and a former host at CHOI Radio X, has reportedly posted comments on social media in the past in which he said he was open to restricting abortion and expressed discomfort with late-term abortion.

In his documentary Trans Generation, independent producer Jean-Pierre Roy interviews Gabriel Cudia*, a young woman who began her transition at age 15 and eventually came to regret it.

In her testimony, Gabriel recounts struggling to adjust to puberty as a child. She was also diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome (autism).

She explains that she was bullied in school because of her autism and because she wore baggy clothes to hide her developing feminine figure. Amid this rejection, one girl stood up for her and became her friend. However, that girl was abusive, and Gabriel fell into a toxic, codependent relationship with her. This relationship pushed Gabriel to become a "man." She was 14 years old at the time.

The doctors were informed that she had Asperger’s, and they simply noted it in her medical record.

Three or four months later, in December 2016, she had a second appointment at Mérakis. They asked her how she had been doing since her first visit. She left with a prescription for testosterone.

Two days later, Mérakis sent a letter to the surgery center (GRS) for the mastectomy. The letter was signed by three doctors: the one who had seen her, the doctor who had been present at the first appointment, and a third doctor she had never met. The letter stated that, after numerous in-depth discussions and follow-up evaluations, they approved the procedure.

She was eager to go through the transition process because she was under a lot of pressure from her "girlfriend" at the time.

"Mental health: offering medical assistance in dying to prevent suicide" is the title of an opinion piece published in Le Soleil. The paradox it presents would be laughable were it not for the fact that this is an extremely serious matter.

Just think about it: proposing death to prevent people from killing themselves! Offering suicide to prevent suicide...

This is the proposal of Dr Chantal Descoteaux and Dr Claude Gagnon, who are thankfully currently retired. Their piece is riddled with contradictions from start to finish.

It is said that people who take their own lives are either experiencing a temporary crisis or have been receiving long-term healthcare and have tried all the suggested solutions. Driven by despair, they chose to end their lives. The doctors then go on to say, "Turning a blind eye to this reality does not save any lives." A strange line of thinking, since how exactly does killing suicidal people save lives?

While it is true that this would reduce suicide rates, since assisted suicide is not counted as a suicide, this is a fundamental error since in both cases the person wishes to end their own life.

All Quebec politicians, from the CAQ to the QS (yes, even the QS!) and including the Liberals, are expressing a willingness to tackle the current falling birth rate. Quebec’s total fertility rate was 1.36 children per woman in 2025, which is well below the replacement rate of 2.1.

Their approach is similar to one promoted by University of Sherbrooke academics, such as Sophie Mathieu, a lecturer at the School of Applied Politics. She aims to help families have as many children as they want. Currently, there is a gap between the number of children families want and the number they actually have.

Mrs. Mathieu lists several obstacles to fulfilling this desire, including difficulty balancing work and family life, "eco-anxiety", the housing crisis, and the shortage of subsidized childcare.

The solution to "eco-anxiety" is simple: the media just need to stop bombarding the public with apocalyptic climate messages.
Work-life balance and the shortage of daycare spots are related issues that the government could easily address in some cases. For example, they could provide support to mothers who want to raise their young children themselves.

But what did I just mention? Mrs. Mathieu says that the issue of birth rates "strikes a sensitive chord, that of gender equality." She says that people in Quebec (or rather, feminists) would prefer to talk about "work-life balance" than "birth rate policy." This reluctance to use such a harmless term is astonishing!

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.

Of the 900,000 calls to the Suicide Crisis Helpline (9-8-8) from individuals with suicidal thoughts, nearly 7% (or 70,000 calls) mentioned considering assisted suicide.

Dr. Allison Crawford, the helpline's medical director, presented these figures to the "Special Joint Committee on Medical Assistance in Dying," adding that "when people mention MAID [euthanasia], they exhibit a significantly higher level of suicidal tendencies than those who call or text without mentioning MAID."

Are we really going to extend euthanasia to people suffering from mental illness alone? As pro-life advocates have said from the beginning, once euthanasia is legalized, the barriers will fall one by one.

Notably, 90 organizations supporting people with disabilities or mental illness have signed a letter urging Mark Carney’s Liberal government to repeal the extension of euthanasia to individuals with mental illness alone, which is set to take effect on March 17, 2027.

Matt and Nicole Alexander.

Matt and Nicole Alexander, teachers in Cobden, Ontario, were fired by their public school board in 2023 for failing to support LGBT ideology.

Matt, who had taught for 20 years with an impeccable record, was summoned by his principal, who informed him that he was suspended and under investigation following a complaint about his social media activity. The catch is that he didn’t even have a social media account at the time. No explanation was provided.

Nicole had been teaching kindergarten for three years and had consistently received excellent evaluations. One morning, she found an LGBT poster on her classroom door. The poster had been placed there without her knowledge, and none of the other classrooms had posters on their doors. Since she had not received instructions about it, she took it down and put it in a closet. Later that morning, she was summoned to the principal’s office and questioned about removing the poster. She was immediately suspended pending an investigation.

On October 26, 2023, Matt and Nicole Alexander were fired by the Renfrew County School Board for failing to "celebrate and affirm LGBTQ issues."

Following their dismissal, the Alexanders were unable to find work as teachers because they had been blacklisted. This resulted in significant financial loss, forcing them to sell their family home.

All things considered, this dismissal on trivial grounds—one of which was fabricated and the other seemingly a trap—occurred after their son, Josh Alexander, began publicly challenging his school’s policy allowing men who identify as women to use women-only facilities, such as restrooms and changing rooms. This policy was adopted by a different school board. For this courageous protest, Josh and his brother were expelled from school.
It seems that we are witnessing the persecution of an entire family because of one of its members' opinions against LGBT ideology.

To make matters worse, the Alexander parents’ union, the Ontario Elementary Teachers’ Federation, refused to defend them despite filing grievances on their behalf.

In a new development, the Legal Centre for Constitutional Freedoms has decided to represent Matt and Nicole Alexander before the Ontario Labour Relations Board, where a hearing was held earlier this month. The couple is suing the union that refused to defend them.

This is the first step in what promises to be a long legal battle.

In an open letter published in Le Quotidien, Georgia Vrakas, a psychologist and associate professor in the Department of Psychoeducation and Social Work at the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières, explains why the extension of euthanasia to people suffering solely from mental illness, which is due to come into force on March 17th, 2027, is a bad idea.

Having suffered from bipolar disorder herself, she describes the difficulties that people with mental illness face in accessing housing, employment and adequate care. She is surprised by the push to extend euthanasia to these people under the pretext of “equality”, given that so much work still needs to be done to reduce the discrimination they face in daily life. According to Le Quotidien:

"They are among the most stigmatised, discriminated against, and marginalised groups in society. This leads me to wonder: we go to great lengths to ensure that people living with mental illness are not discriminated against when facing death, but who goes to such lengths when we are discriminated against on a daily basis while still alive? Do we really want medical assistance in dying to become our default option?"

Praising the work of suicide prevention organisations, from which she has previously benefited, she expresses concern about the impact this extension will have on suicide prevention. She rightly points out that there is no real difference between ‘assisted suicide’ (or euthanasia) and suicide. She also questions whether there is a real difference in suffering between someone who takes their own life and someone who undergoes euthanasia:

"Let’s use the right words. In both cases, it involves intentionally ending suffering through death."

"The difference lies in who is taking the action. Is the suffering the same or different in each case? We do not know because, to date, there has been no validated tool to distinguish between the suffering of a person with a mental illness who wishes to die by suicide and that of a person with a mental illness who wishes to die with medical assistance."

"In my view, providing medical assistance in dying for people with mental illness issues runs directly counter to suicide prevention efforts. What will happen if the law changes? Will people who are suicidal turn to MAID instead of suicide prevention centres? I don’t know. Given our current knowledge and collective responsibility, we should not make medical assistance in dying the default option for people living with mental illness. In reality, it is not a choice."

Rose, now 21, has had a difficult journey. During her childhood, she suffered several traumatic experiences and was bullied at school. She says that these struggles led her to want to dissociate herself from the person she was, to leave behind the Rose who was suffering so much. She even attempted suicide twice.

At one point, she discovered people online who identified as transgender and had undergone or were undergoing the transition process. After seeing numerous posts by these people and contacting them, she became convinced that transitioning was the solution to her problems. When she told her mother that she believed she was a boy, her mother didn’t think she was serious. Throughout her daughter’s transition, she feared that she was mistaken and would come to regret it.

Faced with her daughter’s determination to transition, Danielle, her mother, sought advice from the Meraki Clinic (which specialises in gender transition) to understand what her daughter was going through, fearing that her distress might lead her to attempt suicide again. After two visits, the clinic prescribed puberty blockers, convincing Danielle that this would give her daughter a ‘break’ to reflect — without mentioning any potential side effects.
