Action4Canada Empower Hour Wednesday, August 20, 2025. Zoom doors open at 4:25pm PST/7:25pm EST. Empower Hour guest segment 4:30pm PST/7:30pm EST. Be sure to Register in advance and invite others.
On the next Empower Hour, Action4Canada’s Homeschool Lead, Doris Livingstone, will be hosting the show with special guest Peter Stock, President of the Home School Legal Defence Association (HSLDA). Together, they will address the growing interest in homeschooling across Canada and the importance of protecting the right of parents to direct their children’s education.
Peter will share valuable guidance and up-to-date information on homeschooling, including parents’ legal rights, how to safeguard your homeschooling freedoms, and the steps to take if those rights are challenged. He will also discuss current concerns facing homeschooling families in Canada, as well as strategies to ensure your children receive a quality education rooted in your values. With legal protection, expert advice, and a wealth of resources, HSLDA empowers parents to homeschool with confidence.
Whether you are currently homeschooling, considering it for the first time, or simply want to understand the legal protections in place, this Empower Hour will deliver the essential knowledge and strategies every parent needs to fortify their child’s future. Register in advance, invite others, and join us live for this important conversation.
Homeschooling is on the rise—not as a passing trend, but as a necessary response to both public and private education systems that are failing students academically and replacing core learning with political and ideological agendas. Parents across Canada are turning to homeschooling because traditional schools are leaving students unprepared for the real world and causing measurable harm to their development.
According to the Council of Ministers of Education, Canada (CMEC) based on OECD’s PISA 2022 data, only 78% of Canadian 15-year-olds met the baseline proficiency level in mathematics, meaning 22% did not meet the minimum standard required for full participation in modern society. In reading, 82% achieved baseline proficiency. These numbers also reflect a troubling downward trend over the last several PISA assessments.
The Province of Ontario gets a failing grade in education instruction and is an example of what happens when you replace academics with woke ideologies. The percentage of Grade 3 students unable to meet basic reading expectations rose to 29% in 2024, up from 27% in 2023.
By contrast, homeschooled students consistently perform much higher. Research from the National Home Education Research Institute (NHERI) shows homeschoolers score 15 to 25 percentile points higher than public-school students on standardized achievement tests. One study reported homeschoolers scoring an average 1190 on the SAT compared to 1060 for public school students. At the university level, homeschool graduates often outperform their peers, with some studies showing a 10% higher GPA and a 50% higher college completion rate.
These facts underscore why this Empower Hour is so important. Homeschooling isn’t just an alternative, it’s a proven path to academic excellence, strong values, and independent, critical thinking free from ideological indoctrination.
SOGI: Indoctrinating, Sexualizing & Grooming Children
If you missed last week’s Empower Hour, you cannot afford to overlook it. This was a rerun of one of our most hard-hitting presentations— viewed nearly 500,000 times—and it’s a wake-up call every parent needs to hear. Tanya Gaw lays out disturbing, irrefutable evidence from the SOGI Toolkit for Teachers K–6 that will leave no doubt about the urgent need to take action.
The evidence is undeniable. What you will see in this presentation is proof that the public education system is being weaponized and used to indoctrinate, sexualize and groom our children. This is why we are urging parents to do whatever they can to homeschool. For many families, it is no longer a matter of preference but one of protection.
