The Parents Rights Coalition of Canada is hosting their spring virtual summit over Zoom this Saturday. Register for free at www.prcoc.ca . Below is a promotional video for the event:
Here is the roster of “grass roots warriors” who will be giving presentations on the “biggest issues facing parents and children” today :
Mia Hughes - The WPATH Files
Pascale Bourgeois - Marxism in Education
Stephen Reich - Resisting the Drive toward Identity Politics in Schools
Gwen O’Mahony - Political Intervention for Sex-Based Rights
Chanel Pfahl - Curriculum to Classroom- How does woke activism slip in?
Nadine Ness - Engaging Parents at a Grassroots Level
Grassroots Warriors Panel - Successful Parent Pushback and Engagement
Most readers of Woke Watch Canada will be familiar with Mia Hughes and the WPATH Files. However, for an overview of the WPATH Files, the Cass Report, and Trans-Affirming policy in Canada, read my latest essay published by the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, called Canada’s dangerous commitment to trans-affirming care for minors. Also, my short essay, The Spiral of Silence, includes Mia’s thought-provoking X thread of the same name.
Chanel Pfhal of course is well known to Woke Watch Canada readers. For new subscribers, read Intimidation Masquerading As Virtue Is Chilling Free Speech, for an introduction to Chanel’s story.
I do not know Stephen Reich, however I am very interested in his research. Checkout out this piece published by True North about Stephen’s academic work.
I am also not familiar with the other presenters, but their topics sound interesting. The event promises to be both informing and thought-provoking. The parents rights movement is gaining momentum. The message is getting heard. If you support parents rights, and the rights of kids to just to be kids, then sign up today.
Enjoy the event on Saturday.

Hi I‘n really disappointed that there isn’t ANY emphasis on declining reading, writing and arithmetic in our schools within your ranks. Student achievement is abysmal yet nobody in education- unions, Ed leaders and now parent groups like this - never discuss these issues publicly. It’s ironic that your organization is devoting so much energy examining content of teacher workshops and ideological issues, because that is exactly what unions and our Ed leaders prioritize as well. You are acting like them.
Schools are places of learning. The fact that more and more kids are falling further and further behind, transcends all divisive issues, and calls those who teach our children, into account. Why waste so much time preaching to likeminded folks? You are playing into the hands of the unions. A more effective approach might be to increase your support by scrutinizing falling literacy and numeracy rates, because THAT is something which ALL parents can get behind, and will catch unionist interests off guard.
What I am most concerned about other than the topics mentioned, is the constant rewriting our history with aboriginal people, perspectives woven in which makes blatant out lies. Our children are being indoctrinated into a false narrative about our great country without truth and fact. Canadians have to endure land acknowledgments which attacks and erode our sovereignty. More and more kids don’t want to go to school because of these divisive policies Canadians have had enough. If aboriginal people are truly a foreign entity why are we allowing them to indoctrinate our children?
