We're kicking off the fourth week of our year-end fundraising campaign, made all the more urgent by the ongoing Canada Post strike. Your generosity is crucial to keep us going.

This past weekend, I celebrated a milestone: 50 years on this Earth and 15 years as president of Quebec Life Coalition. As I reflect on these years, I’m overwhelmed with gratitude for the blessings and challenges that have shaped me and our mission to defend life and uphold Christian values in Quebec.

How It All Began

I began my "career" (if you can call it that) in the pro-life movement during my doctoral studies in religious studies at McGill University (class of 2008). Newly returned to my Catholic faith and eager to meet like-minded people, I joined a campus pro-life group called "Choose Life," founded by an American student, Natalie Fohl. One of our first activities was watching a video by Stephanie Gray, a pro-life speaker, which included a stark portrayal of abortion. Seeing that video changed my life (click here to view this video).

Abortion was no longer a topic for polite debate; it was a horrific crime that I could not ignore. I couldn’t justify sipping coffee in a Montreal café, writing about Kant’s moral proof for the existence of God, while mere blocks away, innocent lives were being destroyed. I was, as they say, "redpilled."

I soon connected with Campagne Québec-Vie (Quebec Life Coalition), founded in 1989 by Gilles Grondin, a former Canadian diplomat, in response to the devastating Morgentaler Supreme Court decision of 1988 that decriminalized abortion. Leaving academia behind, I joined this mission full-time.

We're kicking off the third week of our year-end fundraising campaign, made all the more urgent by the ongoing Canada Post strike. Your generosity is crucial to keep us going, because there's still a lot of work to be done.

The Challenge: Pro-Life Centers Under Government Attack

The Quebec government has started targeting pro-life pregnancy centers, accusing them of spreading misinformation as part of their pro-abortion action plan. At the same time, the federal government wants to strip these centers of their ability to issue tax receipts, threatening their very survival.

Our Response: Helping More Women with "Enceinte et inquiète"

Despite these attacks, we are not backing down. In fact, we’re committed to expanding our service for pregnant women in need, "Enceinte et inquiète," in 2025. This year alone, we helped over 50 women—that's almost one woman every week—through follow-ups, visits, calls, and attentive listening.

In November, "Daniella," one of the women we helped, gave birth to twins.

Through our Facebook page, website www.enceinteinqiete.org, and toll-free number 1-855-871-4442, we are here for these women—listening to their concerns and connecting them with pro-life resources that won’t push them towards ending their pregnancy.

Freedom to Truly Support Women

Quebec Life Coalition does not issue tax receipts, meaning we are not under government pressure to comply with their pro-abortion agenda, which often ends in the death of the unborn child. We are free to act as a bridge between women in need and pro-life centers, without formal ties that could make these centers vulnerable to attacks from pro-abortion groups and governments.

There’s Still Time to Make a Difference!

We’re just two weeks away from the end of our holiday fundraising campaign. So far, we've raised $10,158, but we still need $4,842 more by December 18. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has already donated. If you haven't yet, please consider giving today to help us expand our support for pregnant women in need. With the ongoing Canada Post strike, your help is more important than ever.

Thank you for standing with us!>>

For Life,

Georges Buscemi
President, Quebec Life Coalition

Today marks the second week of our year-end fundraising campaign, launched early to tackle the challenges posed by the Canada Post strike. Thank you in advance for your generosity—we have much work ahead of us!

As we’ve shared in recent emails and articles, on Monday, November 18, Quebec’s Minister for the Status of Women, Martine Biron, unveiled a shocking 28-point “action plan” aimed at entrenching abortion access (The plan is available for now only in French, here). This includes introducing a telehealth service to make the abortion pill available across Quebec—on top of the 25,000 abortions already performed annually in the province and 100,000 across Canada!

But there’s something in this government plan worth noting—a recognition of the growing impact of the pro-life movement in Quebec, made possible by your support:

"Among the signs that the anti-choice [pro-life] movement is organizing and ramping up its efforts in Quebec, an anti-abortion march intended to become an annual event was held for the first time in Quebec City in June 2024. Alliances have also recently been formed between Quebec’s anti-choice [pro-life] groups and those from the rest of Canada, enabling the pooling of resources and increasing visibility. Vigilance is required as the anti-choice [pro-life] movement becomes increasingly visible in the public sphere and targets Quebec.”

This is proof that our efforts are working. Pro-abortion ideologues are genuinely rattled—and rightly so. The truth about abortion cannot be ignored forever. Far from being “health care” or a “right,” abortion is a gross violation of human rights, as powerfully demonstrated in these two videos (viewer discretion advised):

1. Aspiration Abortion Procedure
2. Aborted Children at Different Stages of Development

Campagne Québec-Vie isn’t standing alone in this fight. The movement is growing, with new groups rising to defend life, like Montreal’s pro-life student group Action Vitale or Abortion Victim Photography group "Montreal Against Abortion".

The march referenced in the government’s plan is, of course, the March for Life in Quebec City. Clearly, this event has struck a nerve with those in power. That’s why we’re committed to hosting it again in 2025—especially as next year marks the 50th anniversary of Quebec’s Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms, which begins with these words:

"1. Every human being has the right to life…"

We’ve chosen this powerful phrase as the theme for next year’s March for Life, scheduled for Saturday, May 31, 2025, in Quebec City. Mark your calendars now!

As the government doubles down on its pro-abortion agenda, in reaction to our growing pro-life presence, we need your help. Our fundraising campaign ends December 18, but we ask you to make a special, sacrificial gift today. Your support will allow us to overcome the challenges posed by the postal strike and continue to defend life in the face of government propaganda.

Thank you for your generosity and your unwavering commitment to the pro-life cause.

Thanks to your incredible support, we’ve already raised over $3,000 since the launch of our fundraising campaign last Wednesday. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your generosity and commitment to life!

That said, there’s still much to do. With the Canada Post strike disrupting one of our main donation channels, your help is more critical than ever. We need your collaboration to reach our $15,000 goal by December 18, so we can continue standing up for the unborn and pushing back against the Quebec government’s pro-abortion agenda.

As I shared in my previous email, the Quebec government’s Plan d’action gouvernemental sur l’accès à l’avortement 2024-2027 promotes radical measures to expand access to abortion, including:

• Deploying telehealth services to make abortion pills available across Quebec.
• Expanding abortion clinics (“points of service”) to reach even more regions.
• Increasing funding for pro-abortion groups to combat so-called “misinformation.”
• Facilitating access to long-acting contraceptives after surgical abortions.

In response to these measures promoting a culture of death, Quebec Life Coalition is taking bold actions to build a culture of life in Quebec:

• Strengthening our Pregnant and Worried support network to inform women about alternatives to abortion, including resources to help them continue their pregnancies.
• Launching 2025 awareness campaigns on the value of life and the aftermath of abortion, reaching communities across Quebec.
• Mobilizing for the 2025 March for Life, with official announcements coming soon about this pivotal event.
• Developing educational tools, including brochures and online resources, to counter misinformation about abortion.

We refuse to let the Quebec government’s radical measures go unanswered. With your support, we can respond decisively—with hope, truth, and action—to each of their initiatives.

Your contribution is vital. Every dollar you give supports our efforts to protect unborn children and their mothers. Together, we can turn the tide and restore a culture of life.

Thank you for your generous support today >>

Georges Buscemi
President, Quebec Life Coalition

Today marks the start of our year-end fundraising campaign, and we need your support more than ever. With the ongoing Canada Post strike, our ability to receive donations through the mail is compromised, and we have urgent work ahead. Please give today.

On November 11, 2024, I had the honor of testifying at the Montreal Courthouse before the Superior Court of Quebec in our case against the Government of Quebec. Our goal is clear: to eliminate the 50-meter bubble zone surrounding abortion facilities across Quebec, zones that prevent us from providing support to pregnant women in need outside these centers.

On October 30, the Quebec government authorized advance requests for euthanasia for people with neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s—despite the federal Criminal Code’s prohibition. Instead of enforcing the law, Ottawa has opted for a “consultation,” effectively giving Quebec free rein. We need your voice! Sign our petition calling on the Quebec government to repeal this dangerous law.

The U.S. elections on November 5th were historic—and the issue of abortion was front and center. Donald Trump emerged as the clear victor. While his pro-life stance is not as strong as we might hope, he remains a key figure opposing pro-abortion agendas, defending Christians' freedoms, banning minor "transitions," and upholding family values. Between Trump and Kamala Harris, who champions a pro-abortion, pro-LGBT, and anti-Christian agenda, this outcome offers a crucial boost to the pro-life and pro-family movements—even here in Canada.

At the same time, citizens across ten U.S. states voted on pivotal abortion-related amendments. While pro-abortion forces won in seven states, three states saw victories for pro-life advocates, reminding us that every effort matters.

Upcoming Legal Battle: Challenge Against Quebec’s Buffer Zone Law

In Quebec, we are taking a stand. The Quebec Life Coalition is set to challenge the province’s 50-meter buffer zone law, which bans pro-life sidewalk counselling within a 50-meter radius of abortion facilities. Our case will be heard at the Montreal courthouse, beginning on Monday, November 11, and will continue through November 18. This is a critical moment for our rights to advocate for life.

I’m writing today to share urgent news about a new offensive launched by the Trudeau Liberal government. This attack targets pro-life crisis pregnancy centres across Canada, aiming to strip their charitable status. Under the guise of “transparency,” this move is, in reality, an attempt to undermine the centres that offer life-affirming alternatives to abortion and vital support to women in distress, such as baby formula, diapers, baby clothes, and professional counselling.

These centres are being singled out for not “clearly stating” that they do not offer abortion services, even though their mission is to protect and support both the mother and her child. This so-called transparency requirement is nothing more than a weapon to set up these organizations for failure and ultimately shut them down. How can we build a trusting dialogue with a woman in crisis, who may be feeling panicked about an unexpected pregnancy, if we’re forced to announce our opposition to abortion in bold letters at the entrance? Such a demand discourages any potential for meaningful conversation and support—the very goal of the Liberals: to sabotage our efforts to save mothers and children.

We refuse to back down in the face of this ideological persecution. We at Quebec Life Coalition have already made peace with not having charitable status and we will continue, no matter what obstacles are thrown our way, to assist women in distress. Through our Enceinte et inquiète (Pregnant, Need Help) service, we offer tangible help and compassionate solutions. Take Danielle’s story as an example: despite facing numerous challenges, she found hope for her future and her two unborn children through our support. This is the real "choice" we champion—a choice for life, love, and care. You can read her story here.

Meanwhile, Quebec is moving forward today, October 30th, with an expansion of euthanasia laws. Now, individuals suffering from degenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s can make advance requests for euthanasia. This widening of euthanasia access reflects a culture that increasingly values death over life, leaving the most vulnerable at risk. It fosters an environment where human life is devalued and where the frailest members of our society may feel like burdens.

Urgent Petition to Protect Our Children:

Lastly, I invite you to sign our petition against HPV Global Action, an organization promoting early sexual education that is aggressive and harmful to our children’s well-being. You can sign the petition here.

A new documentary by Léa Clermont-Dion on the future of abortion in Canada has just been released. "La peur au ventre" (Gut-wrenching Fear) follows a number of people involved in the fight for or against abortion in Canada and the United States to paint a current picture of the abortion issue. Among the pro-lifers featured in the documentary, Georges Buscemi, president of Campagne Québec-Vie / Quebec Life Coalition, appears to be the main pro-life protagonist in Quebec.

As you will have guessed, this documentary makes no secret of its bias in favour of abortion. However, it does give pro-lifers a fair amount of screen time, showing them in a not too unfavourable light.

Following the release of the documentary on Télé-Québec, Mr Buscemi was invited to appear on Sophie Durocher's show on QUB radio to discuss the film (in French).

In New Brunswick, the Liberals have just won a majority of seats in the provincial election, with Susan Holt taking over from Conservative Blaine Higgs. Ms Holt pledged to fund abortion in private facilities, repeal the requirement for schools to ask permission from children's parents before carrying out any ‘gender transition’ on their offspring, and restore access to schools for the organisation "HPV Global Action", which had been banned from schools by Blaine Higgs following leaks about the inappropriate sex education material the group was showing students. A sad day for New Brunswick.

Urgent Petition to Protect Our Children
On the subject of HPV Global Action, we have learned that the organisation has its headquarters in Quebec and that it is also active in schools. We therefore strongly encourage you to sign this essential petition to protect young Quebecers from the corruption of so-called "educational" organizations that attempt to introduce harmful programs in our schools. Whether you have children in school or not, it’s crucial that every Quebecer act in favor of healthy, value-based education.
Review and sign the petition here: https://www.cqv.qc.ca/hpv_global_action. Please share it with your friends and family via email or on social media. Together, let’s make our voices heard to protect Quebec’s children.

Our Trial Against “Bubble Zones” is Approaching
We are actively preparing for our court case challenging provisions of the Health and Social Services Act (section 16.1), which restrict our freedom of expression by preventing us from peacefully counseling pregnant women in public spaces near abortion centers. Since this law was adopted in 2016, presence within 50 meters of these establishments has been prohibited, with fines of up to $1,250 for individuals.
This law, passed under pressure from abortion centers like the Morgentaler Clinic, unfairly restricts our message of compassion and support for pregnant women in difficult situations. We challenge this restriction, as it infringes on our fundamental right to freedom of expression—a right recognized as essential in a democratic society.

The trial will begin on November 11 at 9 a.m., in Room 15.07 located at 10 Saint-Antoine Street East, Montreal, QC, H2Y 4A5.

I hope this information is helpful! Thank you for your commitment and for every action taken in defense of Life.
