Mother draws swastika on daughter. Kids taken from her.

OK, OK, picky picky.

I was kind of assuming the public element in my description anyway, as well as the malice. Yes, I was using shorthand for it!

Bah, humbug.

Actually, no. There’s quite a few gypsies, gays, catholics et al who would disagree with your statement, only they’re a bit dead. Their ideology was a basic case of “you’re with me or against me,” with a twist of “and in some cases I don’t give you the option of being with me.”

But add me to the pile of “so long as it’s all mouth, neonazis are entitled to their own branch of stupidity.” Has the mother done something illegal? No? Then why is she being punished?

Good summary; just one picky disagreement - it’s the consent of the provincial Attorney General which is needed, not the federal one.

Thanks for the clarification… my mistake.

You might want to do a bit of research before making blanket statements of the law like that. In Manitoba, which is where the case under discussion in the OP comes from, social workers can apprehend children without prior judicial authorization. See The Child and Family Services Act of Manitoba, s. 21:

Umm. . .there is no Mafia.

Back on topic, if the state took ownership of every child whose parents’ views differ from what I approve of, the foster system would far exceed the prison system in number of participants. And what will be done with these kids? I sure as hell don’t want one.

Are you against Christianity? or any organized religion for that matter? All organized religions lead children to believe in something which they have not decided for themselves. It also leads them to believe that other religions are wrong. Any religion that is introduced to a child at a young age will “warp” them in some way.
