No life without his kids
Sunday, December 15, 2002, Mark Bonokoski, Toronto Sun
Another dad dead by his own hand once his children are taken from him — now forever. Ontario's Coroner doesn't seem to care much either, as we have seen with the other deaths.New laws on child custody should help fathers

'Mother gets all' in new Divorce Act

Divorce bill removes key custody principle
Wednesday, December 18, 2002, Cristin Schmitz, The Ottawa Citizen
Justice lawyer Virginia McRae admits that parental contact is being "de-emphasised" in C-22. This deletion of a parent is purposeful by this government.

Changes to Divorce Act seem to be superficial
Saturday, December 14, 2002, Editorial, Owen Sound Sun Times
A paper recognises that the proposed changes are superficial -- seems to be suggesting putting hope in lawyers may be the answer. (NOT!)
Kids come first
Saturday, December 14, 2002, Donna Zandee, Calgary Herald
If kids came first, there would be no divorce. Under these modifications to the Divorce Act, kids come next to last.
Loaded language cut from divorce act
Tuesday, December 10, 2002, Janice Tibbetts, Calgary Herald
No loading cut -- and the presumption of sole maternal custody is well entrenched under the modifications. The Minister of Justice, Martin Cauchon, and his bureaucratic handlers must think that the world is as stupid as they are power-hungry. Look at what that did!
$63 million to be spent on better family services under altered Divorce Act
Tuesday, December 10, 2002, Sandra Cordon, Calgary Herald
The money does not go to services -- it goes to judges and reinforcement of the adversarial system.
New divorce law seeks to resolve child custody disputes
Tuesday, December 10, 2002, CBC News
There is no resolution there. The only thing is these changes is the federal Department of Justice's resolve to make things worse for children and parents. Josef Stalin would have been proud of his disciples there.
Children focus of Divorce Act revisions
Tuesday, December 10, 2002, Janice Tibbetts, canada.com
Children the focus, but never talked to them and never looked at all the studies on children. This Minister, and his bureaucrats could not possibly believe this junk.
New divorce law expected to focus on custody
Tuesday, December 10, 2002, ctv.ca
Actually, the bulk of the law focusing on seizing more than 50% of the husbands assets and future income.
Ottawa to counsel parting parents
Tuesday, December 10, 2002, Janice Tibbetts, National Post
While this is the word of the Minister of Finance, the funds all go to making the system more adversarial.
Putting children first
Saturday, December 7, 2002, Trish Crawford, Toronto Star
Hardly, putting children first would be banning divorce except in very unusual circumstances since ALL children are adversely impacted. This is simply one of those double-think lies from the federal Minister of Justice, Martin Cauchon.
Why fight it?
Thursday, December 5, 2002, Calgary Herald
"Children of divorce have a right to access to both parents. It's not too late for Justice Minister Martin Cauchon to stand up to self-interested lobbyists who would have it otherwise." A great editorial about a dismal Minister of Justice, Department of Justice and Chretien legacy.
New divorce legislation coming Tuesday
Thursday, December 5, 2002, Allison Dunfield, The Globe and Mail
It is coming ... again, political advantage at the expense of children in the name of children as touted by nameless hypocrits.
Race may play role in child custody cases
Monday, December 2, 2002, Janice Tibbetts, National Post

Divorce damages children. The adversial system creates a generations of psychologically damaged and suicidal children. Ask your judge how many they have killed today.Sex and social suicide
Saturday, December 14, 2002, Melanie Phillips, Daily Mail
This one surprises me. The birth rate in Europe and in Canada is already so low and has been so low for the 30 years of insanity that the suicide is committed and the society is in its death-throes. The reason that massive immigration and massive numbers of foreign workers are needed is that we no longer have children, and that too many of those those children we do have are too damaged to handle the complexities of keeping the country working. This is one society that is already dead.The US recognises the peril of absent fathers. Why can't we?

Common law not equal to marriage

Common law does not equal married
Thursday, December 19, 2002, Darren Yourk, The Globe and Mail
Jilted common-law partners can't count on 50-50 split of assets: high court
Thursday, December 19, 2002, Sue Bailey, canada.com
This is one of those nasty, nasty and sneaky decisions from the dictators at the Supreme Court. As they dismantle marriage, making it a sentence for life on only one of the partners (based on gender), they have also that they are the gods who will define marriage that no man will set asunder. This really is the next move in deciding that they will be the gods of common law as well -- which they will have to handle differently so that they can mess around with homosexual relations and rich heterosexual women (after all, they have repeatedly refused to give anything to a man). The gender-feminists are mad because it seems to close their normal licence to steal, but it is difficult to tell the staging from the stupidity.Judicial activism has gone too far, court says

Wednesday, December 25, 2002, BBC News
Another Christmas present from the Family courts, this time in Scotland. Alison Gorrie beats five-year-old Brendan Gorrie to death with a golf club and then makes a half-hearted "fall" out the window. Of course, Dad was estranged and violent mother gets the child. No suicide, just the murder, per the normal mode.Using emotion as ammunition

Leslie Ann Wallace blows away her 6 year old son's chest, hunts down and 16 year old son at his church and wounds him (his Bible kept him from being mortally wounded), and then goes looking to shoot her 19 year old son. She phones 911 and brags about killing the poor little boy. The sons lived with their dad — read, it sometimes seems as if the reporters think this justifies something.The land of lost children

Friday, December 27, 2002, Letter to the Editor from James C. MacDonald, Toronto Star
Be aware. Collabarative Law is a joke in Ontario. It is a farce used by lawyers to generate higher incomes out of your pocket. Whether it is you being told that your case does not qualify and you need some heavy duty adversarial stuff, or you get hours and hours of worthless conferences (neatly and efficiently timed for maximum lawyer fees), just know that you lose.
A made-to-measure lawyer . . .
Saturday, December 21, 2002, Tracey Tyler, Toronto Star
An unreasonably imbalanced look at changes to the Divorce Act and some blatant publicity for some "family law lawyers" -- most of whom actually do "practise." Perhaps Mr. Epstein will give a more reasonable situation: Working woman married to a middle class guy. She is bored with the marriage, tired of being responsible for anything and decides she wants to cash in. Three children -- the middle child is definitely his, the youngest definitely not, the older one is a question because she was pursuing 4 different guys at the same time when she decided she wanted to get married. She is not that interested in the kids, but she wants the money. Since she started using weapons to hit him, he has been avoiding her, so she figures that if he had half a brain he would be seeing someone else. She has been planning this, and saving her salary and skimming his for about 5 years now to get this started, but wants the lawyer to make sure he has to pay for everything (just like the lawyer says).Most think politicians lie: poll
