  • That the question 'should parents face punishment for the crimes of their children?' even needs to be asked indicates how out of control and responsibility-barren our society has become. Politicians and judges, who suggest that holding parents responsible cannot, has not and will not work, reflect the blatant irresponsibility so prevalent in our courts, legislatures and homes. If holding parents responsible is unconstitutional then by God, we had better change our Constitution. Of late our Canadian Constitution has championed little more than those without backbone and common sense. Bravo to Mr. [Hugh McFadyen] for his backbone, his common sense and for his bold stand on responsibility. There are responsible, caring parents who try like crazy to get their kids back in check and have mor...

  • Is the YCJA flawed? Without question. And that's why Manitoba's attorney general again called for specific reforms of the YCJA at a meeting of federal and provincial justice ministers two weeks ago, just as Manitoba has done several times before. So Tory Leader [Hugh McFadyen] wants parents to be held financially responsible for their kids' criminal actions. That's about as smart as fining street people who beg for money. Something tells me if a parent owes the government money for the actions of his/her 12-year-old who's out on the street at 2 a.m., they'll just say, "Hey, while you're out locking handicapped kids in a shed and starting it on fire, don't forget to steal $100 so I can pay your fine.

  • This paper sets the current debate about Canada's criminal law prohibiting polygamy in an historical, social and legal context, and argues that this law is constitutionally valid and sound social policy. Unlike the recognition of same-sex marriage, which promoted equality and saved government resources, the recognition of polygamy would promote inequality and impose costs on Canadian society. The social reality of polygamy is often exploitative of women and harmful to children, and its practice is contrary to fundamental Canadian values. If Canada's prohibition on polygamy is ruled unconstitutional, we would likely have to allow immigration by polygamous families. Western European countries, which allowed immigration by polygamous families in the past, experienced significant social and...

  • The paper describes the nature and role of accounting during apprenticeship - the transition period from slavery to waged labor in the British West Indies. Planters, colonial legislators, and Parliamentary leaders all feared that freed slaves would flee to open lands unless they were bound to plantations. Thus, rather than relying entirely on economic incentives to maintain viable plantations, the Abolition Act and subsequent local ordinances embodied a complex synthesis of paternalism, categorization, penalties, punishments, and social controls that were collectively intended to create a class of willing waged laborers. The primary role of accounting within this structure was to police work arrangements rather than to induce apprentices to become willing workers. This post-emancipation...

  • In his book, Becoming Human, Jean Vanier tells the story of a woman who spoke to him about her husband. She told of how he is happy when she does all those things he demands, "but he never listens to me or treats me like a person, asking me for my opinion or advice." Vanier states, "when Christ, the Dalai Lama, and Muhammad all speak of enemies, they refer to something that can be much simpler, much closer to home. An enemy is someone who stands in the way of our freedom, dignity, and capacity to grow and to love." Later he speaks of how to love that enemy, but not until we accept the need for change, not until we face the fears and flaws that lead us to misuse power, or to grant to anyone else an unhealthy power over us. The speaker at this year's breakfast is Heather Bishop. We're not...

  • Yes, by all means, parents should have to pay fines for the crimes of their children. It won't completely solve the problem of youth crime, which is becoming rampant in our city and province, but when parents realize that they will be held responsible for their children's actions, they will get involved in a positive way. Child murderers, child robbers/thieves, car thieves and violent child criminals should be treated as criminals with harsh penalties, including jail time and a lifelong criminal record.
