Family Day Irony

A holiday that has the word "family" in its name was established by a Premier whose whole activity was (and still is) aimed at distorting, degrading and defacing traditional family values and traditional families. Not only it was under his leadership that the legislature cleared Ontario laws of words like "wife" and "husband", "bride" and "groom", "mother" and "father", but the bill which replaced all references to traditional families and marriages with gender-neutral language, had been rammed through the Parliament several months before the new definition of "marriage for civil purposes" was mandated on a Federal level. Ironic, isn't it?

Looks like the provincial Liberals were in such a hurry to offer Ontarians another vote-buying treat, that they just didn't have the time to think of a name for their new public holiday between New Year's Day and Good Friday, so they just copied the name used in Alberta. But, since it's there - let's make a Family Day wish. And I wish Ontarians, that a year from now, by the next Family day, each of Ontario's 107 provincial ridings gets a Family Coalition Party constituency association. So, once the next provincial election comes, there would be an FCP candidate on every ballot. And I wish Ontarians that by the Family Day of 2012, there would be some FCP MPPs representing them; hopefully - more than just one or two.
