Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Well it was voted on by the two houses of Parliament. And really, the House of Commons vote a few weeks ago is really the main act to make it into law. The Senate can amend, but not vote down a law (they are a "sober second look") and royal assent is really a rubber stamp. (The Senate is mostly a rubber stamp too.)

Right on, Canada!
I foresee a future where the precarious competitive balance between Canadian and American male figure skaters tips decidely in favor of the Canuckistanians.

Kat, I think you and Lori should go on a marraige tour. Massachusetts, Montreal, and then just travel through states as they come to their senses, collecting certificates.
And then we can have cake!

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Interesting. I finally figured out why I was such a goody two shoes growing up. I never knew why I followed the rules from my parents with out ever getting super rebellious. I had ( and still have) a huge amount of respect for my parents. And they had ( have ) a lot for all thier girls. I didn't do things not just because of fear of punishment, but because I actually didn't want to dissapoint them. I was smart enought to know all the consequences of sex ( or drinking, or drugs, or yes, even speeding). and smart enough to know that good things come to those who wait. and a bit of a chicken-shit. and I hated dissapointing my parents. Really - the best of all leashes. They weren't perfect. We didn't talk much about things like sex and really - more info would have been better.
I think the turning point in me becomming an adult was sometime between the ages of 16 - 18 when my father used the word irresponsible to describe me. which was dead wrong. I left the dinner table. My father came to my room , apologized , and asked me to come back to dinner.
Though it would have been hard, if I had needed an abortion before 18, I would have told them. The likelihood of that happening - seriously almost non-exsistant.
