The Children of Ontario Need Your Help

By Steve  Jovanovic

The children! My heart calls out every day on their behalf. Although I’ve never had the privilege of being a parent, I know that every child matters; they’re our future. I’m concerned about the steady assault on the innocence of children in the school system with SOGI (Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity). Meanwhile, the integrity of the family structure is being attacked by undermining the children’s trust in their parents.

Remember in the spring of 2020, how it all started with mass fear, suspicion, and division? Government, federally, provincially, and locally elected and unelected officials prioritized “being safe.” They went after the seniors and small businesses, and suddenly, you’re deemed non-essential. The mad rush for toilet paper! Can you imagine what will happen when we have the inevitable collapse? 

Even when unelected health officials said children were not at risk of covid, they burdened them with the suggestion that they might kill their grandparents by being near them. Forget hugs! Playgrounds were deemed unsafe and ribboned off. After they rushed the approval for injections of children, soon we saw billboards on local buses announcing it’s normal for children to have strokes and heart attacks. (“Trust the Science”? Blank labels, zero liability, autism.) 

And now, almost four years of covid is apparently not enough. The damage done to the children is unthinkable with the educational labour disruptions, isolation, and attempts at remote learning. Imagine teachers being directed to tell students not to talk to their friends at lunch or recess. I can’t bear to see a child needlessly masked and constantly living in fear. There appears to be a lull, however, it’s not ending any time soon! It’s all too obvious for some of us that there is an intention to drastically reduce the planet’s population. Call it what you will: depopulation, culling, genocide. “Protect the vulnerable” translates to “get them”!

In Ontario schools, the sexualization, indoctrination, and bullying of our children has been going on for years since before the Kathleen Wynne government’s new sex ed curriculum introduced in 2015. More recently, school board members have been turning off the microphone at board meetings when parents are speaking out with alarm about inappropriate and suggestive content in elementary school library books. Material that would have a caution for adult reading! Parents and grandparents are being shut out from volunteering at their children’s schools where children are celebrated for choosing to identify as one of 27 gender options and encouraged to keep their choice of pronouns secret from their parents. The SOGI agenda (exposingsogi123.com) introduces a whole new element of peer pressure that is more dangerous than experimenting with smoking, drugs, or alcohol. Gender mutilation is non-reversible and results in sterilization and life-time dependency on pharmaceutical drugs. They want every child fully indoctrinated for life so they will fully comply for life.

We had to do something. In the summer of 2023, we created an actionable plan with our grassroots boots-on-the-ground initiative of a physical petition that even some teachers have signed. Everyone over 18 in Ontario can get involved. All we need is a legible name and town of residence. 

Our petition has the potential to set an incredible precedent by increasing public awareness and liberating the children. We also want to redirect our tax dollars to support the growing number of private, home, and church learning pods that emerged during school labour disruptions. Many parents are open to alternatives to the education system that is sexualizing, indoctrinating, and bullying their kids. We are having thousands of conversations about the issues and hear that parents and other adults want to somehow express their concerns for the children’s well-being.

To receive a copy of the petition PDF and updates by email, please write to kickstartcanada1@gmail.com and Rob will send you the details with the postal mailing address in Bobcaygeon to send your signed petitions. 

In mid-February 2024, we will hand deliver more than 10,000 signatures to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario at Queens Park in Toronto, so please aim to have the pages of signatures sent to Rob by February 1st. Can we count on your involvement for gathering even 10 signatures? The Ontario Conservative Party has previously tabled such a motion. We have the support of several MPPs (Members of Provincial Parliament), and one is ready to bring forth the message of our petition.

I hope that your heart feels the same urgency as mine and that you’ll get involved. What kind of a world would it be if the children didn’t have a future? Today is the line in the sand. Every child deserves a beautiful future.

What do you mean our leaders are not helping us?

As an average Canadian, I have always had pride in our country. We are polite, peacekeepers, with charitable hearts, and we welcome all those who come to either visit or live in this great nation.

During the past several years, with working knowledge of how municipal, provincial and federal governments function, I had a hard time believing they did not work for the people or that they didn’t have our best interests at heart. Now, I am not so naive to think that money and agendas do not exist, there are always backroom negotiations to leverage things that have more importance or value to certain areas in the country/province/region. That is just life.

During the first days of the pandemic, I respected what our leaders were doing to keep people calm, take care of us as Canadians and do what was needed to protect our most vulnerable. However, as the days rolled on, my gut kept telling me that the protective measures were not making sense. During SARS and other outbreaks, we did not have these extremes. I worked with the business community and saw first-hand how these measures affected them and their families; it was catastrophic for many.

Then, as Canadians, we were no longer able to make our own decisions without consequences, harassment and judgment. The V-pass was the last straw for me. COMPLIANCE. That word determined if you were a good Canadian or a bad Canadian. When a colleague said to me, if you aren’t getting the jab, you should have your health card taken away, I was shocked. Then I saw the article in the Toronto Star and realized people were feeding into this. We are Canadian, with the right to choose, no? One only has to search and there are hundreds of opinion pieces published on dividing Canadians.

Now, before you judge this as an anti-vax story, I did get the jab – coerced through new employment and the ability to see my son play hockey or travel. For that, I am in constant regret. I didn’t trust there was enough time to test it. That was suspicion one, then the bribes that was suspicion two. The final straw was the threats and published stories of division. Watching people watch loved ones through glass or hearing of those not able to attend a funeral for someone they deeply loved. What is wrong with our leaders and their judgement.

My family was divided, my heart hurt and my husband – far more aware of the realities than I was – were struggling and alone. Then as a proud trucker’s daughter, I went to a bridge, thinking I would stand alone and wave to the trucks coming through. Now this is not a convoy story, this is a moment of reality. It was -20 on a fairly remote country bridge over the QEW. I parked and started walking up, and to my shock and dismay that bridge was packed. Packed with Canadians shaking hands, hugging and for the first time – just as I was – realizing we were not alone. The truck drivers rolling through united our hearts and spirits. I will never forget that moment.

Since that moment, I question my own judgement, I research so much more and I am awake to the realities of our world. I have chosen to look at things through faith and with critical thought. At first, that journey was so overwhelming. Some days it still is. As small children and young adults, we are taught to respect authority and our leaders have authority. However, what if our leaders are not watching our for us? What if they are selfishly following their own plans, or plans that have been passed down to them. What if globally there are plans to control us more? What if evil people are trying to ruin culture and society.

If you have followed me this far, I thank you, and trust me I understand how crazy it sounds. In the simplest of ways I think this through by asking myself, what does the bully in grade school try to accomplish with sinister plans? What if that bully grows up and is promised wealth, compensation, and immunity to go along with a bigger bully’s plans. In Canada, we had this amazing identity known across the world. We have sister cities in other countries that boast of their love of our country. As a peacekeeping, loving and polite nation. As one with the unique characteristics of natural beauty and acceptance. Today, can you say that we are known for that? Our own prime minister mocks certain cultures, favours the ones whom he can exploit for monetary gain, name calls, violates ethics, and creates the most divisive narratives at a time when our country needs hope and uplifting. The fabric of Canada no longer exists, words are changed in our anthem and the welcoming spirit we have is for all who come to the country but not those who were born and raised in our country. So today, I am a Concerned Canadian. I am concerned for our future, for our children’s future and for our identity as Canadians.

Welcome Message

Welcome to Concerned Canadians:

Our lives feel like they are changing at a rapid pace. As Concerned Canadians, we attempt to make sense of our country as we go about our day-to-day lives and ask some basic questions so many Canadians are pondering.

Our goal is to bring everyday Canadians together to make change happen. 

We feel the same as many other fellow Canadians; daily we discover that our federal government does not hold the same values that have held our country in such high regard around the world. We wore a set of family-type values with pride while travelling or simply speaking to people from other countries, and fear that is no longer part of our identity. 

This federal administration has eroded what it means to be Canadian and has become an embarrassment on the world stage.

Our goal is to get that information out to as many Canadians as possible, to those who feel the direction of our country needs to be corrected.  Anyone interested in joining Team Canada is more than welcome. 

January 29th  2024, please join us in a peaceful gathering at Queens Park in Toronto to invoke our Canadian Parliamentary process and ask Parliament to hold a vote of no confidence in which, upon losing,  Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland must resign their positions and hold a Federal Election within 45 days of their resignation.

There are a few ways that a vote of no confidence can arise: through one of the opposition parties explicitly stating that the House has lost confidence in the incumbent government; through a question posed by the governing party; or, through the opposing parties’ rejection of an important piece of legislature, such as the budget or the Speech From the Throne (which establishes the government’s plan for the parliamentary session). 

Once the incumbents are defeated in a confidence motion, the Governor General decides what happens next. The GG will either invite the opposition parties in the House of Commons to try to form a government (by creating a formal coalition or by having parties make agreements to vote together in the House), or dissolve Parliament and call an election.

January 29, 2024

We are concerned Canadians and together our voices are stronger. 

Join us in sharing our concerns with members of the public, businesses, media, and the government on January 29, 2024, at Queens Park in Toronto.
