The controversy came back to haunt us a couple of days ago. A directive to Service Canada employees was startling: since it is often difficult to find out if the person at the end of the line is a new gentleman, a madam, or people who considers himself genderless, the concept was to challenge the men and women by their name directly.

The concept is so strong that people often forget that it is additionally everyone's responsibility to make sure that the fabric forms something bigger than every one of us.

Sometimes Mother's Day and Father's Day will be replaced by the Parental Expert Day (Part 1 in May possibly and Part 2 in June). Women and men day after the announcement, protests could fuse: several families are solo parents. Why not respect this state of affairs and make only one date for the Parental Authority Day? Some incidents later, we will abolish that party. More simple as good.
