Family law corrupt
Our contract to honour Canadian families and protect our children is breached on a daily basis by child protection agents, duty and legal aid counsellors and the divorce judges who referee family proceedings.
A strong family can only take root in a community that meets everyone’s needs. Any courthouse between Chilliwack and Vancouver routinely abuses fathers and their children with consequences for us all that last generations.
I want to challenge Canada’s interpretation of Section 7 of the Charter which claims we all have a right to life, liberty and security of person on the basis of New Brunswick v G.(J). 1999.
In that child protection case, a judge ruled that taking a parent away from a child is such a physical and psychological trauma for both the parent and the child that the state should offer a free legal aid lawyer to the parent for the trial.
I think that’s a bad idea because legal aid lawyers are abusive.
But taking a parent away from a child without cause is physically and psychologically traumatic for a child of any age.
Taking a parent away from a child without cause during the brief period of childhood is a greater evil.
Any judge who wants to take a father away from children should be forced to call that proceeding a child protection hearing with a six-month review period.
