Everyday Superheroes honor Saskatoon Dads wish by climbing Saskatchewan Legislature Buildings for equal parenting rights.
2:45PM Central Time
Saskatchewan is the home of a very well known Everyday Superhero in the fight for equal parental rights. Still known only as Saskatoon Dad because of a publication ban surrounding his case, his story will not be forgotten
This well documented Saskatchewan case saw a father and son be denied their rights to a relationship with each other, before the child was born.
F4J Fathers 4 Justice Canada , who supported the Dad and his family throughout the case, pay special tribute to this Everyday Superhero by honoring one of his requests by climbing the Saskatchewan Legislative Buildings located on Legislative Drive , Regina SK
We hope this helps to drive the point home that parents must have equality rights regarding their children and the time has come to act to enshrine those rights in law.
Private Member Motion M483 first step in righting past wrongs.
The group has been promoting public support for equal parenting and Private Member Motion M483 being introduced October 8th by MP Maurice Vellacott and seconded by 17 other Members of Parliament to change the divorce laws to presumptive equal parenting.
“Though this motion may ultimately reflect the will of Parliament that parents should be equal, this action reflects the will of the people that parents should be considered equal,” says Kris Titus, National Coordinator for F4J Fathers 4 Justice Canada . “We are right now considering any government or party that has previously shown opposition instead of support for equal parenting as a potential opportunity for non violent direct action. As parents we will do whatever is peaceful and possible to promote equal parenting rights.”
F4J will soon give all federal parliamentarians the opportunity to make their ‘individual’ as well as ‘party’ positions on equal parenting known through a Politician Watch questionnaire being prepared by the group. The results from this questionnaire will be published on their website for all Canadians to see where their MP stands on this very important issue.
For the past 10 years, a majority of Canadians have supported equal parenting as evidenced in separate public opinion polls. The time for equal parenting is long overdue.
