We're off to see the Lizard (the Wonderful Lizard of Laws)

I'm going to the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal to plead for the rights of illegitimate children. I've researched the issue. I think I can win! If I succeed law's lizard will bite off his left arm and grow some new tail.

UPDATE: HRC wanted me to make the claim at the SBT, where the issues will heard in about 3 months. I do what I say I'll do! Meanwhile the Ontario Liberals changed the law after I made my appeal. However, they are still in court against single parents every day asserting their vested entitlement to child support. So I press on...



This page is for my bookmarks. I also have some notes and private correspondence that I must keep to myself for now.
