Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

What a touching story! Sperm-donors DO have rights! How absolutely relieving! I could never conceive of lesbian parents having sole accountability for a child’s existence. I hope this helps clarify this person’s self-awareness and prominence in the universe.
Now is that affirm for a MMF or a FFM hookup?
All children should be paternity tested at birth and no man’s name should go on a birth certificate without actual proof that he is the father. Making a man responsible for a child for 20 odd years on nothing more than the word of the mother that he is the father is a crime.
I hope this helps clarify this person’s self-awareness and prominence in the universe.
A man said to the universe:
“Sir, I exist!”
“However,” replied the universe,
“The fact has not created in me
“A sense of obligation.”
Stephen Crane 1871–1900
This person might try: Sir, I exist, I exist, I exist.
This child purportedly has three parents, but what about an assist for the turkey baster?
Don’t know why Mick Jagger’s name just popped into my head….
I have nothing against alternative family arrangements, but the fact that the sperm donor could bully his way in is total BS. A deal’s a deal.
LAS, the problem is that in some jurisdictions the sperm donor can be legally compelled to provide child support even if they were an anonymous donor through a state-licensed agency. In such a legal climate, since the donor can’t be certain his parental responsibilities have been severed, seeking out parental rights is only reasonable.
tl;dr – a deal often isn’t a deal.
Yeah, that’s pretty awful. But I still don’t see how it’s reasonable for this guy to seek out parental rights unless he has been sued or threatened to be sued for parental support.
Could they not also include Cuddles the dog for getting everyone in the right mood? If not, why not?
That isn’t “an alternative family arrangement”; it’s a social experiment involving a kid. Truly selfless people know children need real families, not several different people on a piece of paper.
We’ll see. Maybe what worked before is obsolete or at least needs competition.
Please let’s not let this devolve into the “angry teenager” rant you’re so used to spouting off. Traditional families work, by the way, and let’s not pretend this entire situation is best for the child. It’s three people being thoughtless and selfish and a child is in the middle of it. What happens when the women separate or one of them dies?
Did they list the turkey baster on the birth certificate too?
Perhaps it is best not to ask about Cuddles :-}
Is ” all of the above” one of the answers?
Does this mean two mommas one poppa or two poppas one momma is the new norm?
I understand a revised edition of the classic book for toddlers and kindergartners on this subject is coming out, entitled “Heather has Two Mommies and One Daddy.”
A lot has changed since 1989 when the original was introduced to pre-schoolers and primary students everywhere and a whole new generation needs to be indoctrinated, I mean educated and enlightened.
MMF or a F\FM, FF/F or M/MM\F ~~ the all village!
