6. Alberta protects kids, women from transgender ideology
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has shown leadership in not only requiring parents be notified when their children want to socially transition to the opposite sex at school by using a different name or pronoun, ban minors from receiving hormones that stunt their natural growth, and protect women from competing against imposter “transgender” women, she has invoked the notwithstanding clause to ensure that the courts do not overturn these laws passed by the Alberta legislature.
5. Global fertility continues steep decline
The World Bank estimates that the global fertility rate – the number of children a woman of child-bearing age will have in her lifetime – is 2.3 (2024), the lowest ever. All of Europe, most of North America and South America, and east Asia are the below replacement level of 2.1, with many large countries nearing the demographically suicidal rate of 1.0 or below. Canada’s fertility rate is 1.25 children per woman, a record low for the country and a figure which is considered “ultra-low” territory (1.3 or less) shared by only nine other developed countries: South Korea (0.75), Taiwan (0.86), Singapore (0.97), Spain (1.12), Japan (1.15), Italy (1.18), Finland (1.25), Luxembourg (1.25), Canada (1.25) and Switzerland (1.26). Red China’s fertility rate is 1.0 and the country’s population is in decline. Chile has the lowest fertility in the Americas at 1.13.
4. Mark Carney replaces Justin Trudeau
In January, Justin Trudeau announced he would step aside as prime minister. In March, Mark Carney replaced him as Liberal leader and prime minister, and promptly won a near-majority in a Spring federal election. It may be a new leader, but the same policies are in place. Carney, a putative Catholic, defends abortion and LGBT “rights,” and his government has left in place four bills that would endanger Canadian liberty: Bills C-2, C-8, C-9, and C-18. C-2, the Strong Borders Act, would increase government’s surveillance capabilities including opening letter mail without a warrant. C-8, the Cyber Security Act, empowers the government to regulate telecommunications service providers, including those that provide access to the internet and radio, under the guise of national security including the authority to ban citizens from the internet and force companies to provide user data. Bill C-9, the Combatting Hate Act, would increase penalties for “hate crimes” and remove certain limitations in the pursuance of those charges, including eliminating the exemption for sincerely held religious beliefs which could effectively criminalize certain moral views. C-18, the Online News Act, attempts to regulate the internet to promote Canadian content. In September, Health Canada announced new funding to promote abortion services among “underserved” populations and areas. On Trudeau’s signature abortion policy, international aid amounting to $700 million annually to promote and commit abortions, the Carney government has made no announcement one way or another.
3. Abortion pill revealed as unsafe
Several reports were issued in 2025 showing that the abortion pill is unsafe not only for the preborn child it is intended to kill, but for the women who take it. In May, the Ethics and Public Policy Center published a study, “The Abortion Pill Harms Women: Insurance Data Reveals One in Ten Patients Experiences a Serious Adverse Event,” which found that the abortion drug mifepristone causes 22 times more serious adverse effects than is claimed on its label. The same month, an article published in the Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care, titled, “Determining the Period Prevalence and Acuity of Emergency Department Visits Following Induced Abortion Mistakenly Identified as Spontaneous Abortion: An Analytic Observational Prospective Cohort Study,” found that many women who visit an emergency room after taking the abortion drug are likely to be coded as “miscarriages” rather than chemical abortions thereby skewing data about the safety of both the abortion pill and pregnancy. Examining 29,000 hospital visits by women after taking the abortion pill, they discovered that “nearly 84% of drug-induced abortion-related ER visits were miscoded.” In August, the Globe and Mail reported on an Ontario teen who died of septic shock weeks of after taking Mifegymiso.
2. Charlie Kirk assassination
On Sept. 10, Charlie Kirk was shot and killed at the age of 31, during his “The American Comeback Tour” stop at Utah Valley University. Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA (TPUSA), was shot in the neck by Tyler James Robinson. At TPUSA events Kirk would debate liberals and progressives to point out their inconsistencies and make the intellectual argument for a variety of conservative ideas. Kirk was an outspoken pro-lifer and Christian who encouraged young men and women to settle down, have children, practice their faith, and respect the Sabbath. A memorial service held on Sept. 21 at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, attracted nearly 100,000 people as Kirk’s widow, Erika, and members of the Trump administration, including the President, eulogized the man murdered 11 days earlier. There were reports of increased Bible sales as well as greater church attendance by young men in the weeks after Kirk was slain.
1.Donald Trump presidency
U.S. President Donald Trump’s first year of his second presidency has seen monumental changes to the pro-abortion, pro-transgender policies of his predecessor, Joe Biden. Trump defunded international organizations and bodies that promote or commit abortions, took down pro-abortion webpages from federal government sites, rescinded a Biden memorandum requiring abortion as emergency care in hospitals, called on the federal government to cease all promotion of transgender policies, published a review condemning the “low quality” science that fails to support the medical and social transitioning of minors, signed the Big Beautiful Bill that defunded Planned Parenthood for one year, and rejoined the pro-life Geneva Consensus at the United Nations. It was not all positive news, however, with the Trump administration approving a generic abortion pill, not enforcing the Comstock Act which prohibits sending abortifacients through the mail (thereby allowing women and doctors to skirt state restrictions on abortion), and promoting in vitro fertilization by urging companies to provide coverage as part of insurance packages for employees.
