Saturday Night
It's easy to get lost in readings.
I don't want to waste my time tonight.
I want to come to some conclusions.
I bookmarked and partially read the links below.
Tonight I finish reading, review my past work and summarize the texts I've learned so far..
The Empire of the Lone Mother: Parental Rights, Child Welfare Law, and State Restructuring
New Brunswick (Minister of Health and Community Services) v. G. (J.)
Per L’Heureux-Dubé, Gonthier and McLachlin JJ.: In addition to s. 7 issues, this case raises issues of gender equality because women, and especially single mothers, are disproportionately and particularly affected by child protection proceedings. In considering the s. 7 issues, it is thus important to ensure that the analysis takes into account the principles and purposes of the equality guarantee in promoting the equal benefit of the law and ensuring that the law responds to the needs of those disadvantaged individuals and groups whose protection is at the heart of s. 15 of the Charter . The principles of equality, guaranteed by both ss. 15 and 28 , are a significant influence on interpreting the scope of protection offered by s. 7 .
L. (N.) v M. (R.R.), 2016 ONSC 809 (CanLII)
R. v. Levkovic, 2008 CanLII 48647 (ON SC)
Mr. Moon’s thorough review of the origins of s. 243 commenced with reference to Queen Elizabeth I’s enactment of the “Bastardy Laws” in 1572 dealing with children “born out of lawful Matrimony” described as “an Offence against God’s Law and Man’s Law” and an example of “Lewd Life”.
An Act respecting Marie Alice Elisabeth Hélène Lacroix, SQ 2011, c 39
AS, under the Civil Code of Lower Canada, children born out of wedlock were
considered illegitimate children, who did not enjoy the same rights as legitimate
children;
Maintenance Order Act, RSA 2000, c M-2
This law was in force until 2005! “child” includes a child of a child, and the child of a husband or wife by a former marriage, but does not include an illegitimate child"

Yet Ontario Works policy treats lone parents like a 'prescribed class'. It is within this grey area that discrimination lives!— Karen (@mywindyroom) June 9, 2016
Oh look at this fabulous excerpt on the colonization of the world! 1893 Hansard. Search term "lone mother" https://t.co/tH3giDYVEg— Karen (@mywindyroom) June 11, 2016
The only other mention of "lone mother" is Laurier's 15 years later. Two solitudes theme. https://t.co/ROYi1PTdEi— Karen (@mywindyroom) June 11, 2016
