Canadian schools dispensing with Mother’s, Father’s Day … because, well, you know
American Thinker ^ | May 20, 2026 | Eric Utter

Sage Creek Elementary School, located in Winnipeg, Manitoba, has decided to jettison Mother’s Day and Father’s Day presents in favor of much vaguer “family” gifts, which the Increasingly Less White North’s National Post noted is “part of a new trend among some Canadian schools downplaying or eliminating the traditional parental celebrations.”

Gee, I wonder why they are doing this. Just kidding.

“Marriage” and “family” have been legally redefined in recent years — as leftists push to destroy both. After all, if you wish to destroy Western society, you must first weaken its foundation, shatter its building blocks.

Yeah, what they do "doesn't affect anyone else." Lather, rinse, repeat.

In Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, the word "father" was a slight vulgarity, but "mother" was an outright obscenity.

If your goal is to destroy the family unit, you start by denying parenthood.

Bad, bad BAD idea!! “Honor Thy Father And Mother!” still rules.

Maybe there is some way to get the Quebackers upset about this. They love to rebel against Big Canada for their own self centered reasons.

And the prerequisite to that is to destroy marriage by making it purely an artificial structure of the state.

If the state can create "marriage" out of thin air, then it can create parents the same way. An sever parenthood when it suits them.

The Canadian ruling class — as with the ruling classes of western Europe and the Democratic Party in the USA — have seceded from the human race.

Quebec supports leftist and feminist garbage even more than the rest of the country.

Courts cancelled the Alberta Referendum at the behest of the Natives.

But it’s not over because the AB gov’t may do it directly.

Quebec is just like France. Totally leftist and surrendering to Moslems and blacks - as long as they speak French.

We all have had fathers and mothers. They may not have been perfect, but neither are we! They mainly did the best they could, and loved us!

Substituting some sort of “trans”, gaysbian, or “nonbinary” makes us much worse off than having “conventional” parents. And it’s also a big, loveless lie!

Why would you want students wasting actual school time on Hallmark Holidays, like Mothers and Fathers Days?

Wasting time on nonsense like Halloween and Valentines Day in school is a travesty when students can’t read, write, or do math.
