"Naked Judicial Activism"

Joseph C. Ben-Ami of the Institute for Canadian Values is NOT a happy camper today.

Update: David Frum's Diary via Jack's Newswatch - "Skipping Down the Slippery Slope"

Now here's something that I want to remember. David says:

I'm reminded of something Evelyn Waugh once wrote to his friend Nancy Mitford: He said that because she had no understanding of the implications of her (left-wing) politics, that for her the future was always full of lovely surprises. Whereas he had to live through every catastrophe twice, once in anticipation, and then again in reality ....

That is the story of my life.

David Quist from Institute of Marriage and Family Canada -

"What we do know from social science research right now is that children raised by their married biological mom and dad do best, but we also know that's not a fact of life for a lot of kids out there," he said. "Let's put in (some policy) that supports the outcomes for the children the best we can, rather than going the other direction."

Further Update: Unchartered Waters by Mindelle Jacobs (Edmonton Sun).

Or do you prefer to let nutbars speak for you?

You're doing a great job.

It's founding stems from Bill C-38 and has a clear anti-canadian bias.

Please expand on the latter part of that sentence. Thanks.

Joanne, silly, don't you know that Liberal values are Canadian values? *Puke*

The rest of us don't count.

Ah, that's good, PGP. I was afraid you'd start sending me your cleaning bills!

I guess now the few remaining vestiges of widely respected public morality are being legislated out of existance by pontificating, ivory tower, legal dream world inhabiting nut cases on the bench.

I suppose now we are at the point of every man (& woman) for themselves.

Hey, that suits me just fine. If those are now the rules I will be happy to play by them.

While little Johnny grows up to be a neurotic, waste of skin, loser because of the self indulgence of his 5 pervert parents my daughter (now 2) will grow up stable and sucessful with her 2 old fashioned parents who care about her very much.

I hope you don't mind WORKING FOR my daughter little Johnny, until she fires your ass that is.

Joanne (True Blue) said...

Anon - I hear your frustration, but I don't think it's appropriate to label the parents as "perverts".

I am concerned about the implications of this ruling though.

Joanne -- I am concerned about the implications of this ruling though.

Perhaps you could elaborate on this. (Aside from your facetious speculations made the other day...)

Do we as a society care how many names are registered under the category of "parent" on a child's birth certificate? If not; what's the point of it then?

Joanne (True Blue) said...

Thank you CWTF. And can you please demonstrate how it is in the best interest of the child to have any number of names on a birth certificate?
