Everyday For Life Canada: May 2024

Woking Canadian history and getting it all wrong

In the rush to make Canada's history woke, we're getting it all wrong. A good example of this was the renaming of Ryerson University to Toronto Metropolitan University. The board of directors approved the change because the name Egerton Roberson was connected to Canada's residential schools. Ryerson was a central figure in developing the public school system, as well as the teachers' College in Canada.

The name change was one of the 22 recommendations made by the university's Standing Strong (Mash Koh Wee Kah Pooh Win) Task Force. The large statue of Ryerson that stood on the campus was vandalized and eventually toppled in 2020. This happened when the MSM news was filled with reports about unmarked grave sites on the grounds of former residential schools.

"Pride month": the sexual brainwashing of school children has already begun

Principal Anthony Pauk and teachers at St. Denis Catholic School in Toronto aren't waiting for the month of June to begin brainwashing the children with "rainbow" sprinkles and the sexual letters of the alphabet. Pride celebrations will start May 31th.

Pauk will give a talk to the children at a morning assembly. There will be a slide presentation and a play based on the book, Except When They Don’t.

Pray the novena that St. Padre Pio recited for those who requested his prayers

As we get closer to the month of June, we share with our readers the Novena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. It's the prayer that Padre Pio (Italian for 'Father Pius') of Pietrelcina recited for all those who requested his prayers. St. Margaret Mary has been given credit for writing it.

Novena (prayed for nine consecutive days) to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

I. O my Jesus, you have said: 'Truly I say to you, ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and it will be opened to you.

Parents exempt your children from Ontario's 2019 explicit sex-curriculum

As we begin the month of June, it's a good time for parents to inform or remind the principal and teacher of the school that they want to exempt their children from the Human Development and Sexual Heath expectation for the child's grade. The sex-curriculum is a component, Section D, of the Ontario Health and Physical Education program, for Grades 1-8.

In too many cases, under the topic of "sex-education" children have been exposed to porn and immoral sex acts.

A reflection for Memorial Day in America

The United States commemorates Memorial Day today May 27th. Most Americans will take a moment to remember and honour the many service men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice “for love of country and family, preservation of peace, and defence of the American people” in the nation’s history. It's a day to reflect on the high human price that is paid to protect freedom, family and country.

"Behind the Flag"

As we get closer to the month of June, we post with permission a great article by Josie Luetkie titled, "Behind the Flag.” It comes from the pro-life publication The Interim.

My anonymous Twitter troll has seemingly finally moved onto bigger and better things (knock on wood), but in the past, (presumably) he would repeatedly demand I educate myself on the history of the pride flag – originally the gay pride flag. I recently declined to attend an alumni event at my alma mater, St.

A sober reflection as we get closer to vacation time

From St. James 1:5-6:

Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you. Your riches have rotted and your garments are moth-eaten. Your gold and silver have rusted, and their rust will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure for the last days. Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out; and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts.

University of Toronto is getting a taste of its own woke, toxic medicine

It's now three weeks that a pro-Palestine demonstrations has taken over part of the University of Toronto. They refer to themselves as Occupy for Palestine. Some of the protesters are staff and students of U of T but most of them are not.

The same kind of occupation is taking place in other universities across Canada. Their demand is for universities to stop investing in Israel and cut ties with Israeli academics.

The Tower of Babel and "disordered Babel"

This is the spiritually insightful essay for Pentecost by Anne Burleigh from the May issue of the Magnificat.

The Lord loves to reveal himself in fire. Amid rushing wind and fire, he spoke to Moses from the flaming bush. On the day of Pentecost, fifty days after Passover, the disciples sat waiting— expectant, alert—in the Upper Room. And the Lord came again amid rushing wind and fire—this time as flaming tongues alighting on each one.
