Canada’s Million Person March against LGBT indoctrination has ‘quadrupled’ its support since last year

OTTAWA, Ontario (LifeSiteNews) — Canada’s Million Person March for Children this fall is predicted to be even bigger than last year’s, which saw over one million Canadians marching for parental rights.

During an exclusive interview with LifeSiteNews, Muslim pro-family activist Kamel El-Cheikh revealed that the Hands Off Our Kids movement against LGBT indoctrination in schools has quadrupled in size in the months leading up to the second Million Person March.

“Canadians from coast to coast were coming into the movement and saying, ‘I was part of the million people march last year, I wasn’t part of working with you directly, but we tried to help and fill that void, and we did a great job. We had a massive turnout. I’d like to work with you officially,'” El-Cheikh, who organized the coast-to-coast march for parental rights last September, said.

“And these are Christian Canadians,” he added. “These are First Nations. These are Sikhs. These are Muslims.”

El-Cheikh further revealed that the movement has “quadrupled the size” it had in September 2023, in terms of both supporters and personnel. The group now has managers in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick, Ontario, and Quebec.

“We are 75% bigger than last year in terms of personnel and in terms of people,” El-Cheikh declared.

“Now, we have First Nations representatives, chiefs that represent 100,000 people that are in our movement,” he added.

The group also works closely with other pro-family groups, including Campaign Life Coalition, the Mama Bears, Veterans for Freedom, and, just recently, Canadians for Truth.

El-Cheikh explained that pro-family Canadians are fighting to declare three things: that we are “one nation, one flag,” that “Canada’s parents will parent Canada’s kids,” and that “we won’t allow our kids to be politicized.”

Now, El-Cheikh is working with his team to organize the second Million Person March for Children scheduled for September 20th in cities across Canada. More information on the marches can be found on the Hands Off Our Kids website.

El-Cheikh requested that Canadians attending the event carry the Canadian flag and wear the country’s national colors of red and white.

“Bring lunchboxes for your kids,” he instructed. “Take them out of school.”

“And come down and come celebrate with us all day,” El-Cheikh added. “This is a march. It’s a monumental event. It’s a festival. It’s celebrating Canadians and the diversity of Canadians.”

This will be the pro-family movement’s second major protest of the year. As LifeSiteNews previously reported, in June, teachers and staff at an elementary school in Ottawa, Ontario, were baffled when 591 out of 738 students (80 percent) were missing from the school’s LGBT “pride” flag raising ceremony.

In addition to the massive success at the Ottawa school, El-Cheikh estimated a “pride” flag boycott rate of 50 percent in schools across the country during Canada’s 2nd annual National “Pride” Flag Walk-Out Day.

According to Campaign Life Coalition, this year, a total of eight provinces participated in the walkout campaign, compared with seven the year before.

The participating provinces in 2024 included: British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick.
