I wanted to draw your attention to a very noteworthy event: a demonstration against euthanasia for people with mental health problems. Organised in Montreal by Dr Paul Saba, the aim of the demonstration is to prevent access to the lethal injection being extended to people with mental health problems, who are especially vulnerable.

Finally, in 2024 we will mark the 35th anniversary of Quebec Life Coalition, our pro-life movement in Quebec. The fact that we have been in existence for thirty-five years shows both the scale of the battle and the tenacity of our movement, a tenacity due in large part to your spiritual, moral and material support throughout these years. This long-term battle does, however, require thoughtful people to think about leaving us a bequest.

The planned gift of a bequest is a gift that one decides to make now, but which bears fruit later, after you pass away. Contact us for more information: [email protected]

How many times have such gifts arrived just in time at critical moments for our organization! These gifts are like manna from heaven for a movement like ours. Please contact us by e-mail or telephone (1-855-996-2686) if you would like more information about this type of donation.

For Life,

Georges Buscemi

P.S.: You can help our movement by purchasing delicious Christmas treats on our website ==> https://www.cqv.qc.ca/gateaux

A percentage of each purchase will be donated to your local pro-life movement! All products are lovingly made by the Cistercian monks of Val Notre-Dame Abbey.

Before reading this week's news about a second set of marches for childhood purity and against LGBT indoctrination in our schools, I'd like to remind you that this is the last day of our autumn 2023 fundraising campaign, which has a target of $12,000. To date, we've raised $11,404. Thank you to everyone who has given so generously! We still have $596 to raise. If you haven't already done so, you can help us reach our goal before the end of the day by clicking here!

Since September, we've taken part in the Conservative Party convention to instil solid principles in that party's platform, we've published over 90 articles to educate and inform, we've helped organise over 10 Life Chains in Quebec, we've organised two 40 Days for Life vigils (one in Montreal, the other in Sherbrooke), we've designed a pro-life leaflet to distribute and we've been networking in many pro-life circles in Quebec and elsewhere. But we need your help to keep going!

For Life,

Georges Buscemi

P.S.: If you haven't done so already, please donate before the end of the day, if you can. We greatly need your support to continue working in Quebec for faith, family and life, from conception to natural death.

Children's march organiser announces further national protests against LGBT agenda
The organiser of the Million Man March held in September to fight radical LGBT agendas taught in state schools is preparing a new demonstration for 21 October after receiving more than "12 calls a day" to organise another.

This week you can read about the record 315 locations across Canada where we held our Life Chain, our annual one-hour public prayer event for the unborn. You can see some photos of the event here.

Also, as we hold two 40 Days for Life vigils in Quebec (one in Montreal, one in Sherbrooke) until 5 November, you can read this testimony from a 40 Days participant imprisoned for his defence of the weakest: Will Goodman, imprisoned rescuer: "Our Lord has blessed me by allowing me this year to participate in a contemplative way in the 40 Days for Life".

To take part in the 40 Days for Life, a worldwide vigil where people of goodwill take turns prayerfully witnessing outside abortion centres for 12 hours a day and for 40 days in a row, please call Brian Jenkins at (438) 930-8643.

Finally, Bill C-314, which aims to prevent the extension of access to euthanasia to people suffering from mental illness, will be voted on 18 October. This vote is crucial if this pro-life bill is to move on to the next stage. If the vote on 18 October is negative, the bill will never see the light of day. Please contact your Member of Parliament to let him or her know that you want him or her to vote in favour of Bill C - 314!

We are seven days away from the end of our autumn 2023 fundraising campaign. To date, we have raised $6053. Thank you to everyone who has given so generously! If you haven't given yet, our goal is $12,000. We still have $5,947 to raise. I hope you can help us reach this goal by the end of our campaign.

For Life,

Georges Buscemi

P.S.: Please donate today, if you can. We really need your support to continue working in Quebec for faith, family and life, from conception to natural death.

Ed Fast, Member of Parliament for the British Columbia riding of Abbotsford in the Canadian House of Commons, today introduced a bill to prevent access to "medical aid in dying" (euthanasia) from being extended to minors and people suffering from mental illness. You can read more about this bill here. Let's hope that parliamentarians today will vote according to reason and not according to the prevailing false ideologies.

The recent march for the purity of childhood ("Million March for Children") was not the result of the arbitrary hatred of a few "backward" and "far-right" parents, but a legitimate movement in defence of children against the diabolical attacks of perverted people who have taken power in our schools and other institutions. The proof: Hundreds of young Canadian girls confused about their gender have had mastectomies, according to the available data. How is this possible except in a school and societal climate where delusional gender ideology reigns? We need to crush this evil in our schools and in our society. And make no mistake: our opponents are trying to introduce this delusional ideology into every institution, including the armed forces!

Finally, our work at Quebec Life Coalition continues: publication of news, plans for a booklet on feminine modesty, a presence in the Ottawa parliament, participation in the children's marches, 40 Days for Life in Sherbrooke, and all of this in the wake of our recent "Life Chain" demonstrations.

Yesterday we completed the first week of our autumn 2023 fundraising campaign. You know that we can only do our work with your loyal support! Please support us by sending us a donation.

Our goal is $12,000. About $ 2000 has been donated so far, and for that we are grateful. However, we remain $10,000 away from our goal. I hope you can help us reach it by the end of our campaign on October 18.

For Life,

Georges Buscemi

I give thanks to God for all the work we've been doing lately on behalf of faith, family and life, from conception to natural death.

There's of course our participation in the fantastic child protection marches across Canada; the good fruits of these exceptional marches are still being harvested!

At the beginning of the month, we were also in Quebec City at the Conservative Party convention, where we were able to put forward a number of pro-family policies that will now have to inform the party's decision-makers on how to proceed in the next election.

The Conservative Party convention also saw the publication of a new French-language anti-abortion leaflet:



Entitled "Five reasons not to have an abortion", this leaflet can save lives! It's the first in a series of a dozen that we'll be putting together on a variety of subjects, including abortion, euthanasia (so-called "medical aid in dying"), marriage, faith, religion and the state, secularism... 

Finally, we're preparing for two upcoming events: the first is the "Life Chain" (see below), the pro-life, anti-abortion demonstrations that will take place this Sunday, October 1, in hundreds of locations across Canada, including a dozen in Quebec (see below).

The second is the 40 Days for Life vigil, which for Quebec this time will be held in Sherbrooke from today, 27 September, until 5 November 2023.

We're also starting the vital autumn 2023 fundraising campaign today. You know that we can only do our job with your loyal support! Please show your support by sending us a donation.

Our target is $12,000. I hope you can help us reach it by the end of our campaign on 18 October.

You are invited to meet the leader of the Christian Heritage Party, Mr. Rod Taylor.

This Saturday, September 16th, 2023, Rod Taylor, leader of the Christian Heritage Party will be visiting our QLC offices in Montreal to meet with Quebec supporters.

As the only fully pro-life federal party in Canada, the CHP has an important part to play in making our country more pro-life and more in line with the teachings of Jesus Christ. Mr. Taylor lives in British Columbia and does not often come to Quebec. Take this opportunity to come and meet him and discuss what we can do to make Canada more pro-life.

As director of political operations for QLC, I will also be present to answer questions on an overall pro-life strategy for Quebec and how the CHP can help change the political atmosphere in Quebec.

Most of the presentation will be in English, but we will provide partial French live translations.

3pm, Saturday, September 16th, 2023, at 3330 rue Rivier, Montreal, H1W3Z9 (map here). For all questions, contact me at 438-882-6249 or [email protected]

Perversity in our schools and now, in our churches?

Sadly, it's true: a parish council of the Sacré-Cœur-de-Jésus church in the Saguenay-area municipality also named "Sacré-Coeur" (Sacred-Heart) has reportedly given permission to the Festival du Fjord to schedule a Drag Queen performance in the church itself, a performace which the organizers reassure us will be "family-friendly" in content. Enough is enough. Why this determination to make everything ugly, to desecrate everything? A church is not a concert hall, still less a dubious cabaret where transvestites strut their stuff to please a half-drunk clientele.

We have a duty to make ourselves heard, to oppose such desecration of a sacred place.

That's why we've produced this petition, to convince the parish council to withdraw its permission to use its premises for profane and perverse purposes.

Please sign! >>

His presentation will begin around 1 p.m.

Our movement, Quebec Life Coalition, was founded in 1989 by Gilles Grondin, a former Canadian diplomat. He had been hired by Campaign Life Coalition, a pan-Canadian pro-life group, to attend United Nations international conferences. It was well known, even at that time, that certain players among the international elite had put in place a programme to reduce the world’s population, and that these plans had to be thwarted by uniting pro-life countries on an international scale. In addition, Mr. Grondin had widely circulated document NSSM 200, produced by the US National Security Council in 1974 (declassified in the late 1980s), which advocated reducing the population of developing countries to guarantee easy access to their natural resources and thus maintain US hegemony.

Quebec Life Coalition has always understood that abortion and other attacks on human life are part of hidden agendas set up on a global scale and financed to the tune of billions. We also understand that, ultimately, these attacks on life are the manifestation of evil spiritual powers, and their ultimate defeat can only be achieved by spiritual means.

Our work is therefore one of patient restoration of souls and societies to foster a culture of faith, family and life, from conception to natural death. We accomplish this work in various ways:

1. "Pregnant and Worried” help line (1-855-871-4442);
2. Regular broadcasts on Théovox
3. News site (cqv.qc.ca/blog) and presence on social networks (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube);
4. Monthly publication of our paper newsletter;
5. QLC conferences;
6. Events and prayer vigils, including:
   • The 40 Days for Life;
   • Vigils for Life
   • the Life Chain
   • the Pro-Life Pilgrimage in Montreal;
   • the National March for Life in Ottawa;
7. Participation in politics at the federal, provincial, municipal and school board levels;
8. Lobbying at the United Nations and other international bodies;
9. Legal action, e.g. legal action against the 50-metre no-go zone around abortion centres in Quebec;
10. Regular meetings and calls with other members of the pro-life movement in Canada and elsewhere in the world;

We have our work cut out for us in Quebec. As you can see, we’re working hard on many fronts. We’re doing what we can, but our material resources come from you. Please help us develop a pro-life opposition to stand up to the pro-abortion establishment in this province. Help us today.

If you’ve already donated to our summer fundraising campaign—and many have—thank you from the bottom of my heart. To date, we have raised $5584. But we only have 6 days to raise the difference, i.e. $6,416. Please give generously to help us reach our goal.

God bless you,

Do you know what conversion therapy is? It's an intervention that aims to lead a person struggling with same-sex attractions to feel these attractions less and, simultaneously, to develop attractions for people of the opposite sex. Nothing more natural than such therapies.

However, these therapies are now illegal in Quebec and Canada. In Quebec, anyone who advertises or offers such therapy faces fines of up to $150,000 and criminal prosecution. And this, even if this therapy is offered to an adult who requests it and consents to it! How is this possible in a country that claims to be in favor of freedom of expression and belief?

Here we see all the hypocrisy of our ruling class: so-called freedom is granted for the exercise of evils such as abortion, euthanasia and gay "marriage" while being forbidden to those who want to live according to the truth -- in the case of therapies, the truth about human sexuality.

One might think that this criminalization of "conversion therapies" is not of great importance for the vast majority of citizens. Let us not be fooled. This is a major step towards criminalizing any expression condemning the immorality that prevails today. Above all, it is an outright attack on Christianity, which is fundamentally incompatible with the LGBT "lifestyle". Indeed, the criminalization of "conversion therapy" is only a thinly-veiled criminalization of conversion in the strict sense, that is to say, the condemnation of sin and the conversion of the sinner. This is what this world wants to ban: the very idea that a person could be wrong and that he ought to change his life, with the help of Christ.

Recently, pseudo-journalists from the Métro newspaper infiltrated Christian groups to find providers of conversion therapy. It's a real witch hunt and it's scandalous that a publication lends itself to such an exercise. We must fight with all our might this latent persecution of people of good will and of Christians.
