South of the border, election fever is gripping many Americans, some of whom are even shooting presidential candidates... Thank God Trump is still alive, no doubt enhanced in the eyes of the electorate after this botched assassination attempt. Whom will voters choose: the bloody, fist-pumping hero or poor "Sleepy Joe"?

Unfortunately, the difference between the two candidates on abortion, mariage and other important issues is less than it used to be: while Joe Biden is still the unconditional champion of abortion, Trump now declares that he supports several exceptions to an abortion ban and that he will not place restrictions on the abortion pill - which is, however, an increasingly used means of abortion, especially to circumvent US state laws restricting abortion.

On the other hand, Trump has chosen Senator J.D. Vance as his running mate. The latter, a convert to Catholicism, claims to be "100% pro-life" but also supports exceptions to the abortion ban for "pragmatic" political reasons.

While our political class works to eke out electoral victories and seeks compromise, we have to work with the culture to fully protect faith, family and life, from conception to natural death. Here are some of the things we're doing to accomplish just that:

PRO-LIFE RESOURCE OF THE WEEK – Trudeau’s MAiD Service

In this short volume, David Cooke presents a concise history of euthanasia in Canada. He explains that the 2015 Supreme Court ruling in Carter vs. Canada marked a dangerous departure from centuries of legal and moral principles that protected human life. The subsequent Bill C-14 (in 2016) legalized what was once considered first-degree murder, making some humans “killable.”

Life Chain

The Life Chain is a peaceful, silent demonstration in which participants hold pro-life signs for one hour. Held in hundreds of cities on Sunday, October 6 from 2 to 3 p.m., this initiative is crucial to raising public awareness of the dignity of human life.

Our plan is to triple the number of Life Chains in Quebec. We aim to grow from 11 to 33 chains, increasing our presence and impact across the province. 

Our Annual QLC Corn Roast

Our annual corn roast will be held on Saturday, August 17, 2024, at 3330 Rivier Street, Montreal (Joliette metro) starting at 12 PM. **Speeches delivered during the event will be in French**

• $10 per person, free for children under 12. Rain or shine.
• In addition to the delicious corn, participants will have the opportunity to visit our offices and attend an informal conference. To reserve your spot, contact us at (514) 344-2686 or [email protected].

Roe Canada documentary

We recently translated and dubbed the documentary "Roe Canada: Our Forefathers' Land in a Post-Roe World", which explores the potential impact of the overturning of Roe v. Wade in Canada. We invite you to watch it in English or in French.

I'm hoping you can join us at our events or use our resources to help build a Culture of Life in Quebec and beyond!

Yours for Life,
