Mon May 11, 2026 - 5:05 pm EDT (LifeSiteNews) — It takes quite a lot for Canada’s mainstream press to report on the graphic sexual content that public school children are routinely exposed to as standard curriculum fare. That’s how you know that the play a group of Saskatchewan students from Campbell Collegiate were recently taken to at Regina’s Globe Theatre was particularly egregious. At one point, the play, titled “Little Red Warrior and his Lawyer,” featured a drag queen pole-dancing. The show included, as the National Postdescribed it, “a drag queen plays a gyrating, rump-thrusting, boob-jiggling version of Queen Elizabeth II in an underbust corset.” Videos of the show are circulating on X, but I will not link or include any here. The show was so bad that the teachers in charge decided, in a surprising demonstration of discretion, to leave the May 6 performance with their students, right around this point: One clip taken from the stands of the performance shows a male character …
Barack Obama was Toronto to deliver a keynote speech just days ago. He was hosted by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and his wife, Diana Fox Carney. What was the meeting about? The public was just told it was for “important conversations” on the building of “a better and more just future.” Of course it is. But the "better" and "just" is no doubt for the elites like themselves. Did you know Obama has worked on a two-volume memoir titled, A Promised Land? The first volume has already been published. These privileged people really believe their lives are so much more important than those of the citizenry. What did Obama, besides becoming very rich, actually accomplish from 2009 to 2017 while president? He couldn't manage to pass legislation to get basic health care coverage for all Americans. The claim that he saved the U.S. auto industry is debatable. He did manage gave away billions of tax dollars to the big banks during the financial crisis of 2008. Why didn't he let them go …
Ontario Catholic trustees have been doing much PR work recently to try to keep their jobs and push back the changes to public education in Ontario. The reforms will come with the passing into law Bill 101, Putting Student Achievement First Act. The reforms have little to do with Catholic education. The new legislation is about how much trustees are paid, fiscal responsibility, the amount of discretionary spending they have, and whether they will still be in charge of the board budget. The law includes limiting the number of trustees in each board to 12, creating new positions of chief executive officer, chief education officer and making high school attendance part of student evaluation. The Ontario Catholic School Trustees' Association, OCSTA, has contacted all school board chairs telling them to submit concerns about Bill 101 to the Provincial Regulatory Registry and their local MPPs. OCSTA puts board chairs on notice: "to explore and carefully consider any and all options to maintain …
We hope she changes her mind. However, if Claire Brosseau wants to end her life, she doesn’t have to advertise it as a form of victimhood, and be exploited to expand the culture of death in Canada.
In Canada, you now get a journalism award for making sure the myth of a mass grave at a residential school is true. It was genocide. Denialism of the myth is the woke journalistic sin. Don’t be Canada.
John Taylor Gatto spent over 26 years teaching in the American public school system in New York State. He even won the teacher of the year award in 1990. At one point, he just concluded that he had enough and decided to quit. He went on to try and expose the reasons why the systems fails students and parents. While it claims to deliver academic excellence it ends up delivering academic mediocrity at best. He once said, "It's impossible for education and schooling to be the same thing." The public school system is a monopoly to conform. Gatto’s book Dumbin Us Down: The Hidden Curriculum of Compulsory Schooling, the Underground History of American Education, and Weapons of Mass Instruction best sums up his views about the public education system. Here's his telling "I quit, I think" statement. It was published in the The Wall Street Journal 35 years ago but is even more relevant in our time of wokeness and political correctness. In Ontario, Minister of Education Paul Calandra is trying …
However, the real concern isn’t about Catholicity but their jobs, how much they are paid, the amount of discretionary spending, and whether they will still in charge of the board budget.
For this year's Catholic Education Week, the Ottawa Catholic District School Board came together to celebrate Mass at Notre Dame Cathedral Basilica and hand out 36 awards for Excellence in Catholic Education. All 36 winners are listed on the school board website. We ask: Where is the excellence in Catholic education? The exercise is more to do with PR than true Catholic awards. The Board says, "This year’s theme, Pilgrims of Hope: On the Path to Holiness, focused on who we are as a community and how we move forward together." Archbishop Marcel Damphousse was present along with staff, families and colleagues. The board has even published a booklet about the winners. But where is the hope and the holy place? A more appropriate title would be "Pilgrims of Secularism." The awards claim to be about putting Catholic education in action, building the community and inspiring futures. But what does this actually mean? We're told, "The recipients reflect the very best of our system. They create …
During Catholic Education Week, the Ottawa Catholic District School Board handed out 36 “Excellence in Catholic Education” awards. Yet critics say the event reflected secular activism more than authentic Catholic identity. Many award recipients were recognized for equity and inclusion initiatives, while Ontario’s Catholic teachers’ union is currently developing 2SLGBTQIA+ inclusion curriculum for all elementary grades, including kindergarten.
Mon May 4, 2026 - 1:01 pm EDT (LifeSiteNews) — The Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR) has unveiled a new social media attack campaign against parental rights. The museum claims that Canadian parental rights movements “aim to deny 2SLGBTQI+ youth their fundamental rights” and are rooted in so-called “transphobia and homophobia that can have very serious consequences.” In an X post released on “Transgender Day of Visibility,” the Winnipeg-based institution outlined a variety of criticisms directed towards the parental rights movement, branding it as being a shield for removing the rights of gay and trans-identifying students. CMHR is a national institution established by Parliament and funded primarily through federal tax dollars. Its self-described purpose is being the “first museum solely dedicated to the evolution, celebration and future of human rights.” The group stated that parental rights movements attempt to “force teachers to notify parents if a student changes their …
May 4 "Do you pass the Israel test?" We failed This telling 12 year-old short PragerU video asks the question: "Do you pass the Israel test?" The "yes" answer it pushes is presumptuous and condescending to anyone who is not Jewish. All nations must emulate Israel's "success" or sink. Here's the posted description on You Tube of the video: Would you believe us if we said that the best litmus test of any society's success is its attitude towards Israel? Well, it's true. As George Gilder explains, whether a society envies and resents Israel's success or celebrates and tries to replicate it is indicative of that society's progress. Countries that "pass" the "Israel Test" tend to rise. Those who don't tend to sink. So, does your society pass the "Israel Test"? In five minutes, find out.The "Israel Test" is one test not worth passing. May 3 Pope Leo XIII's 130 year-old message for Catholic Education Week 2026 The Archbishop of Toronto Cardinal Frank Leo has issued a message for Catholic …
The Archbishop of Toronto Cardinal Frank Leo has issued a message for Catholic Education Week, running May 3-8. In part he writes, Our publicly funded Catholic education remains a cherished gift in this province, and one we nurture with great care. It is our responsibility to offer an authentic Christian witness and teaching, guiding our youth to discover the personal love of Christ. As pilgrims, we accompany them, fostering their growth in faith and indeed hope, that they may become instruments of God’s transforming grace in the world. This lofty calling requires that we remain steadfast to the Gospel of Life, the truths of our Traditions, and to reject the different cultural and nefarious ideologies that undermines our authentic Catholic identity and life in Christ. Catholic education in Ontario is a gift. However, it comes with the responsibility to promote and protect the truth, faith and hope found in the Gospel. Since 2009, both the public and separate school boards have …
As far as I am aware, Catholic education is a right (Constitutional Act 1867 - Section 93) not a gift. This was something agreed upon by hard won 'deal-breaker' negotiations, not bestowed from above. One cannot quibble, however, with the Catholic faith being a 'treasure' which the Church in Canada, and Canadian Catholic parents must safeguard from those who seek to replace that treasure with the 'fool's gold' of this world. I would respectfully encourage Cardinal Leo, his peers, and Canadian Catholic parents to reject timidity in securing that treasure.
Pope Leo XIII’s message was sent to Canada but it applies to all Catholic parents in the world: protect and promote Catholic education for your children today and tomorrow.
The Archdiocesan of Toronto newspaper The Catholic Register on April 30, 2026, posted an open letter written by Morgan Ste. Marie, chair of the Durham Catholic District School Board. A number of schools boards in Ontario have come under government supervision. Some form of governance reform is soon coming. The letter tries to defend the importance of Catholic trustees and what it would mean if the government decoded to get rid of them. Here's Ste. Marie's message followed by our response: After a few months of speculation about school board governance, a decision on the future of school boards is expected soon. Yet one critical question remains: What would happen if we diminished the role of elected school board trustees? Loss of local involvement Elected school trustees serve as vital links between the community and the education system. We communicate, respond and are accountable to parents, students, and local communities, ensuring that the values and needs of those we represent …
In an effort to push diversity, inclusion and equity education, most Ontario school boards, including Catholic boards, have also implemented Culturally Relevant and Responsive Pedagogy (CRRP). Equity and Inclusive Education Strategy was aggressively started in Ontario public schools back in 2009. Nearly 16 years later and millions of tax dollars and what have we got to show for it? We hope this post answers the question. The boards and the Doug Ford government continue to argue today CRRP fosters a safe and positive learning environments by focusing on student identities, removing systemic barriers and developing appropriate curricula. CRRP and equity education are said to improve student academic achievement. Boards implementing CRRP must identify harmful harmful behaviours. These are anti-Indigenous racism, anti-Black racism, antisemitism, Islamophobia, homophobia and transphobia. Administrators and teachers must address individual power imbalances both at the individual level and …
