Canadian Parliament Considers Equal Parenting Bill PDF Print E-mail
Written by Robert Franklin, Esq.   
Saturday, 18 July 2009 16:21

Canada's Parliament has a bill before it to require a presumption of equal parenting in custody cases.  Bill C-422 would amend the Divorce Act to create the presumption and apparently require divorcing parents to discuss a parenting plan with a judge or a mediator. This article says that the bill has the support of both Liberal and Conservative House members (Laval News, 7/15/09).

At least one purpose of the proposed amendment would be to counter an overall bias many people feel currently exists in divorce and child custody law which generally favours women.

Not only that, but the emphasis of equal parenting is on the best interests of children, not parental rights.  That's important given the fact that, in Australia, the current backlash against equal parenting characterizes supporters as only interested in fathers' rights.  The clear, concise answer is that shared parenting is itself usually in the best interests of children, and in the rare instances that it's not, courts are fully capable of ruling.

As MP Raymonde Folco said,

"Equal parenting means that 50 per cent of the time a child would be with one parent and 50 per cent with the other... That’s so that the two parents can come together for the good of the child...But the basic line is a 50-50 proposition, and this is to help the child grow up with the help of both parents."

The Canadian Equal Parenting Council, a coalition of 40 organizations that promote equally shared parenting, supports the bill.

Men’s Rights – Perspiration or Inspiration?

As I think about the today's theme - it reminds me of Thomas Edison, the man who invented the electric bulb. He had made a famous statement "Things are 99% perspiration, 1% inspiration"

Same applies to men's rights movement as well. It is a matter of constant awareness campaign and hitting at our opponents and proponents of male abuse. Contrary to popular belief, it is 3 times easier to abuse a male than a female because males have no support structure and male abuse is accepted by the society as social service.

Follow Yourself; Not Tradition

As I have repeatedly mentioned in my articles that cultures have deceived men, acting as vultures. Men have been used as the FREE ATM MACHINE, the UNPAID BODYGUARD, the de-facto PROTECTOR and PROVIDER, etc. by cultures and in the process have been reduced to disposable entities. Their abuse is considered a social service now.

And men, the way they are, are in a great way responsible for this. They rarely challenge or question conventions, traditions, histrionics and stereotypes thrust upon them. They do not feel the need to fight for their rights - only a handful of them are doing though scores are getting victimized. They do not demand for their space in the society and accept things as offered to them.

To this effect, today I take the example of Skandagupta - the great emperor of India. His stepmother has him sent to Ujjain so that her son can be made the emperor. He obeys her. But then the Huns attack India under the leadership of Attila the Hun. The army of Skandagupta calls him back as they needed his expertise.
