Presentations from the Parents Rights Summit
The Parents Rights Coalition of Canada hosts another successful national event
On May 25th, the Parents Rights Coalition of Canada held their 2nd annual national virtual summit. Videos of the presentation have since been uploaded to YouTube. Below are imbedded several excellent presentations on a variety of topics of concern for Canadian parents, given by a collection of insightful speakers, who have intimate knowledge and experience with wokeism in Canadian education.
First up, Mia Hughes is a journalist and researcher for Michael Shellenberger's non-profit Environmental Progress and Director of Genspect Canada. She is the author of The WPATH Files, an investigative report based on leaked internal communications from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, which revealed the widespread medical mistreatment of children, adolescents, and vulnerable adults.
Mia further exposes WPATH members including Canadian endocrinologist, Danial Metzgar, admitting to the dangers and experimental nature of “gender affirming care”, especially for children and adolescents. The WPATH Files, written by Hughes and produced by Environmental Progress will continue to have a major impact on the conversation around the medicalization of children and vulnerable adults for years to come.
Pascale Bourgeois is a doctoral student and lecturer in the Department of Education and Pedagogy at the Université du Québec à Montréal. Her research focuses on issues relating to authority, tradition and culture, and more specifically on the profound transformations taking place in educational conceptions and practices in modern Western societies.
Pascale gives listeners a taste of the critical pedagogy, the Marxist conditioning, that our children’s educators are receiving at the university level. She opens eyes to the deep roots of critical theory, including Queer Theory, within the Canadian education system.

Chanel Pfahl is a former high school teacher. After voicing her opposition to critical race theory indoctrination in a Facebook group back in 2021, she was promptly suspended by her school board and later investigated by the Ontario College of Teachers. Read more about her story here.
Chanel has since dedicated herself to exposing and souding the alarm about the brainwashing happening in schools across Canada. In her pre-recorded presentation, she dives deeply into DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) and “2SLGBTQI” materials, assignments and presentations in Canadian K-12 schools. She gives listeners a better understanding of the impact of GSA clubs and staff activism on all students and the general school environment.

Stephen Reich, LLB, MA, is a graduate student of educational policy beginning his PhD in September of 2024. His unprecedented research looks at Critical Theory and Pedagogy, and its rapidly growing influence in Ontario educational policy as well as its conflict with Cognitive Science-based Pedagogy. Stephen is particularly interested in the astronomical growth of the concept of “identity” in education, and how it has displaced traditional subject matter study. Stephen was a research lawyer for over two decades, specializing in Charter rights litigation, as well as a professional actor and musician, pursuits that Stephen continues to engage in to this very day.
Exuding positivity and motivation, Stephen discusses the overt engineering of equal outcomes through DEI in public education in Canada and how this creates a “breach of the social contract between public education and the public”. He also gives listeners a look into his ongoing research into 40 years of the inner workings of Canadian Boards of Education.

Parent Support Networking & Grassroots Efforts for Change, Our Duty Canada
Our Duty Canada is a support network for parents of children of any age experiencing transgender ideation. We believe that no child can consent to off-label chemical hormones and permanent cosmetic surgical procedures. We follow the evidence and pressure our social, political, medical and education bodies to conduct themselves from an evidence-based perspective. Our Duty Canada’s anonymous representative gives listeners an inside look at both the organization’s work and its unique parent and peer support network. She touches on ODC's wide array of projects, initiatives and collaborations which have taken place on local, national and international levels. Website:
Referendum Canada 2024, Kellie-Lynne Pirie, Detran Alliance Canada
Kellie-Lynn was born a girl in 1966. She entered into the trans-delusion in 2004, began taking testosterone 2005, followed by a complete hysterectomy 2006 and an elective double mastectomy 2008. She experienced full on regret in 2010 and initiated medical assistance in detransitioning in December of 2024.
Kellie introduces Referendum Canada 2024 and walks listeners through its position and recommendations as they relate to the current conflict with “gender identity” within the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. She explains both the value and the logic behind this push to prioritize sex as a category on legal documents in Canada. Website: https://www.detransalliancecanada.com/
FOI Requests & Donations, Melanie Bennet.
Melanie Bennet is a parent, co-host of the Weekly Canadian Gender Wars Report, member of the Lighthouse Think Tank, and contributor to the Woke Watch Canada. Melanie speaks to both the importance and ease of filing FOI requests in Canada, which can yield much insight into the impacts of parent pushback and engagement, the activist infiltration of Canadian schools and more. She encourages others to either donate to support current FOI requests or launch their own.

We owe a huge debt of gratitude to these brave individuals for their progressive opposition to the dangerous malfeasance of the blind, intellectually impaired, sycophantic bureaucrats who would willfully poison the minds of our children in the name of political correctness. "Viva la resistance".
"Man's basic vice, the source of all his evils, is the act of unfocusing his mind, the suspension of his consciousness, which is not blindness, but the refusal to see, not ignorance, but the refusal to know." ~ Ayn Rand
