Debtor’s prison for dads
By Barbara Kay
Last week Ontario announced it will begin impounding cars of fathers who fall behind in their child support payments. What, are mere licence suspensions not driving enough men to despair?

Courts get a new way to discriminate against fathers
By Barbara Kay
“They throw guys in jail for non-support all the time, and when they do, the guys serve the whole 30, 60 or 90-day sentence (the term keeps lengthening), even though cocaine dealers routinely get out of jail after serving half their time.”
Received via email (Something to think about in terms of the reforms necessary to law and public policy to end all incentives to marriage break-up and unmarried parenthood)…
Ontario’s Family Responsibility Office (FRO) is a star-chamber government agency, enforcing ever more draconian laws – taking debtors prisons right out of Dickens’ time. It is an abomination, and every province has its equivalent. The most sickening fact is that these laws are enforced disproportionately harshly against the unemployed and the uneducated – precisely those who cannot speak for themselves.
Every honest Canadian knows that there is fault in divorce and that the party that is victim to the one who wants to break his contract/covenant deserves redress. No fault divorce is one of the cruelest schemes ever foisted on people by a corrupt government. In an attempt to introduce some measure of redress for fault, people are now experimenting with a bizarre product called divorce insurance.

No-Fault Divorce a Greater threat to Marriage than Gay ‘Marriage’: Expert
By James Tillman
According to Dr. Stephen Baskerville, professor of political science at Patrick Henry College and author of “Taken Into Custody: The War Against Fathers, Marriage, and the Family,” the government “is engaged in a direct assault on the family” that is causing family breakdown – which in turn allows government to reach into yet more areas of civil society under the pretext of solving the problems that the breakdown of the family creates.

Ontario Law Reform Commission Gives Family Law Process a Failing Grade
Ontario’s Law Reform Commission has come down hard on the family law system in that Province. After surveying over one hundred participants in the family law process, including lawyers, judges, mediators, social workers and psychologists, the Commission does not have a lot of good things to say about how family law is done in Ontario.
