Canada’s 2nd ‘Million Person March for Children’ against gender ideology to take place Friday

From LifeSiteNews
The second ‘Million Person March for Children,’ in which pro-family citizens will gather across the country in protest of gender ideology being pushed on kids in schools, is set to take place this Friday following the success of last year’s inaugural event.
After a successful and well-attended event last year, the second annual Million Person March for Children is set to take place coast to coast this Friday, with organizer’s hoping to see thousands of Canadians join to “safeguard children” from “sexual indoctrination” and stand in favor of parental rights.
“We refuse to stand by while the Government and School system allow sexually explicit content and gender ideology to be distributed in our classrooms,” says Hands Off Our Kids, the group organizing the nationwide event.
“This movement embraces principles of human dignity, freedom of thought, and religious freedoms. Our mission includes safeguarding children’s rights, nurturing their growth in a safe environment, and promoting critical thinking through quality education.”
On September 20, most cities in Canada will see march participants take to the streets in peaceful solidarity starting at 8:00 a.m. local time.
The event’s main organizer is Muslim pro-family activist Kamel El-Cheikh, whose organization Hands Off Our Kids, is putting on the event. A full list of locations is available on the organization’s website.
While the movement was founded by El-Cheikh, last year’s event included a large number of Christians as well.
Michael Clark, who serves as the Executive Director for the David and Goliath Program of the Christian Impact Network, told LifeSiteNews that it “identified the Million Man March as a good cause to amplify and support.”
Clark told LifeSiteNews that his organization “is a group of Christian professionals that help behind the scenes and give horsepower to good causes.”
As for Hands Off Our Kids, it says the goal of the march is to raise awareness for the “well-being of children and reinforcing a just, inclusive, and rights-respecting society.”
“This collective effort holds current governments worldwide accountable and underscores their responsibilities towards the most vulnerable members of our society,” says the group.
“We are fighting for our children to be able to learn in a healthy school system that is free from biases and indoctrination.”
Hands Off Our Kids works together with other pro-family groups, including Campaign Life Coalition, the Mama Bears, Veterans for Freedom, and, just recently, Canadians for Truth.
The group’s main message, as per its website, is that “parents are responsible for their children’s moral and upbringing, not politicians and that is why it is our duty to speak up and have our voices heard when we say, ‘HANDS OFF OUR KIDS.’”
“In essence, the #1MILLIONMARCH4CHILDREN is the protest that celebrates our differences while serving as a powerful expression of collective concern, fostering dialogue, positive change, and the preservation of core human values.”
Friday’s Million Person March will be the group’s second major protest of the year. As reported by LifeSiteNews, this past June saw teachers and staff at an elementary school in Ottawa, Ontario, baffled when 591 out of 738 students were missing from the school’s LGBT “pride” flag raising ceremony.
As reported by LifeSiteNews, LGBT indoctrination targeting kids has been on the rise in Canada and worldwide.
For example, LifeSiteNews recently reported on how a school board located in a predominantly conservative Christian part of Manitoba will now have a governmental “adviser” oversee its activities after a pro-“diversity” parents group complained it was not being “inclusive” enough because some of its trustees participated in last year’s 1 Million March 4 Children rally.

‘I’m Cautiously Optimistic’: Doug Ford Strongly Recommends Canada ‘Not To Retaliate’ Against Trump’s Tariffs

From the Daily Caller News Foundation
By Jason Cohen
Ontario Premier Doug Ford urged Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to avoid retaliation against the tariffs President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday.
Trump announced in the White House Rose Garden that he would impose “a minimum baseline tariff of 10%” on all goods entering the United States, with Canada not being included on the list of countries with higher rates. When asked about what Canada’s response would be on “Bloomberg: Balance of Power,” Ford said he was “cautiously optimistic” about Canada’s omission from the higher-tier tariffs and emphasized the importance of a cooperative relationship with the U.S.
WATCH:
“Well, let’s see where these tariffs go. I’m cautiously optimistic that I never saw Canada or Mexico on that list. And it just goes to show you two great countries working together, collaborating together and building relationships,” Ford said. “So again, I’m cautiously optimistic. I think if that’s the case, it’s the right thing for both the U.S and Canada.”
Host Kailey Leinz noted that there are currently tariffs on Canada in place as well as an exemption for goods that are in compliance with the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).
“Does that mean, sir, at least in your mind, that it wouldn’t be appropriate for Canada to retaliate for this at this time?” Leinz asked.
“That is correct. If that’s the case, then I would highly recommend to the prime minister not to retaliate. And let’s carry on a strong relationship,” Ford answered. “Let’s build the American-Canadian fortress around both countries and be the wealthiest, most prosperous, safest two countries in the world.”
Trump declared a national emergency to levy a slew of reciprocal tariffs on what he has deemed “Liberation Day.”
“My fellow Americans, this is Liberation Day, April 2, 2025, will forever be remembered as the day American industry was reborn, the day America’s destiny was reclaimed, and the day that we began to make America wealthy again,” Trump said.
The president also announced that he would proceed with implementing a 25% tariff on “all foreign-made automobiles” that will take effect at midnight.
Ford in March had imposed a 25% surcharge on electricity to New York, Michigan and Minnesota, but promptly rescinded the policy and apologized to Americans on WABC’s “Cats & Cosby” radio show the following day. The tariffs were a retaliatory measure against Trump’s flurry of tariffs against Canada since starting his second term.

Liberal MP resigns after promoting Chinese government bounty on Conservative rival

From LifeSiteNews
“I find it incredible that Mark Carney would allow someone to run for his party that called for a Canadian citizen to be handed over to a foreign government on a bounty,” he said at a recent rally. “What does that say about whether Mark Carney would protect Canadians?”
Liberal MP candidate Paul Chiang has dropped out of the running after being exposed for suggesting Canadians turn in a Conservative Party candidate to the Chinese consulate to collect a bounty placed on the man by the communist regime.
In an March 31 statement, Chiang, the Liberal candidate for the Markham-Unionville riding, announced his departure from the race after a video of him suggesting a bounty could be claimed for Conservative candidate Joe Tay by handing him over to Chinese authorities circulated on social media. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police have announced they are “probing” the comments.
“I am proud of what we have achieved together and I remain deeply grateful for the trust placed in me,” he said. “This is a uniquely important election with so much at stake for Canadians. As the Prime Minister and Team Canada work to stand up to President Trump and protect our economy, I do not want any distractions in this critical moment.”
“That’s why I’m standing aside as our 2025 candidate in our community of Markham-Unionville,” he announced.
Chiang’s resignation follows backlash from Conservatives and Canadians alike when a January video from a news conference with Chinese-language media in Toronto resurfaced.
In the video, Chiang jokingly suggested that Tay, his then-Conservative rival for the Markham–Unionville riding, could be turned over to the Chinese Consulate General in Toronto in return for $1-million Hong Kong dollar bounty, about $183,000 CAD.
Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre was quick to call out Chiang’s suggestion and blasted Prime Minister Mark Carney for keeping him on the ballot.
“I find it incredible that Mark Carney would allow someone to run for his party that called for a Canadian citizen to be handed over to a foreign government on a bounty,” he said at a recent rally. “What does that say about whether Mark Carney would protect Canadians?”
Chiang has since apologized for his suggestion on both social media and personally to Tay.
“Today, I spoke with Joseph Tay, the Conservative candidate for Don Valley North, to personally apologize for the comments that I made this past January,” he wrote in a March 30 X post.
“It was a terrible lapse of judgement. I recognize the severity of the statement and I am deeply disappointed in myself,” he continued.
Carney has said remarkably little regarding the situation. First, he refused to fire the Liberal candidate, referring to Chiang’s statement as a “terrible lapse of judgment.”
“He’s made his apology. He’s made it to the public, he’s made it to the individual concerned, he’s made it directly to me, and he’s going to continue with his candidacy,” Carney said. “He has my confidence.”
Then, following the announcement of Chaing’s resignation, Carney told reporters that it was time to “move on” and that he would “leave it at that.”
