I especially liked “our” Barbara Kay column this morning. It’s in our columnist section as it is every Wednesday.
Here’s a snippet of it:
The perils of premature adjudication
Traditionally minded Canadians and their libertine counterparts resemble dysfunctional lovers: The traditionalists’ needs go unfulfilled, while their litigious bedmates selfishly achieve their goals through premature adjudication.
Such a one-sided climax was the case when Paul Martin’s Liberals, with a whipped vote of Cabinet, rammed through the Civil Marriage Act of June, 2005, on the spurious claim that the traditional definition of marriage contravened the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Last week’s Potemkin-village fulfillment of Stephen Harper’s pledge to correct that failure—no public consultations, and the NDP and Bloc both whipping their votes to a foregone conclusion—has only exacerbated the bitterness of traditionalists. Disappointingly, even the Post’s editorial board declared the matter closed (“today, gay marriage should be treated as a settled issue”), concluding that the advent of gay marriage has not “ren[t] the social fabric.”
But it has. To accommodate gay parents, Bill C-38 changed the words “natural parent” to “legal parent” in various applicable statutes, thus transferring the locus of power in identifying children’s parents to the state.
Recently, a Saskatoon man, willing and able to parent, saw his biological child arbitrarily given away by the biological mother to people he didn’t know. Those strangers, who have given the infant their name, are refusing access of the real father to his own flesh and blood with the state’s complicity. If this perversion of natural law—directly linked to Bill C-38’s social re-engineering of the traditional family, the pillar of society according to all credible objective indicators—is not a symptomatic rending of the social fabric, then what is?
