THE COMEBACK:
THE MESSAGE:
The problem is real and people are fed up! It exists in several big cities where children grow up with an absentee father and come under the influence of gangs who recruit them into a world of drugs, sex, and gun violence. ‘Tavis’ was created by the Liberals’ Premier McGuinty as a strategic police force in protecting at risk communities. They were making a difference in many of these areas but due to racial protesters, the force was disbanded. All of us have feelings about innocent victims of violence. But some of us are just getting tired. Very tired of the excuses that are centred around racial profiling and political correctness.
Fatherhood took a bullet in Canada and the USA a long time ago. And in some Canadian communities, it has taken many bullets. Where the hell is dad? Who is dad? These young men have nothing in their lives but a tricked-up car, an iPod loaded with gangsta rap, and a loaded gun. Mom is forced to work and the kids are left to themselves far too often.
The answer coming from many is they’ve got everything they need. But these kids don’t know what it’s like to have the kind of dad most of us grew up with. A father with high expectations of us.
For many years now there have been those in society who have said it shouldn’t matter whether a kid has a dad in his life, it shouldn’t matter whether he has a strong male role model. Government programs can make up for the gap. Well, the truth is that the only social program worth a damn is a good dad. All the others fall short.
In some cities and public schools in the USA there is a 50% drop out rate. No longer is a person embarrassed because they’re pregnant without a husband. No longer is a boy considered an embarrassment if he tries to run away from being the father of the unmarried child.
CHARLES ADLER is a Canadian writer/broadcaster and political commentator who presented the following narrative:
"Some might say, the lower economic and lower middle economic people are not holding up their end in this deal. In the neighbourhood that many grew up in, parenting is not going on. I’m talking about these people who cry when their son is standing there in an orange suit. Where were you when he was two? Where were you when he was 12? Where were you when he was 18, and how come you don’t know he had a pistol? Is there any part of what you have read here that is truly too complicated, sophisticated or hard to understand? Please don’t let the politically correct crowd make you think that a gun battle at a Canadian barbecue happened for reasons that we cannot comprehend. Hopefully you’ve read my words. They’re not complicated. They’re Canadian Common Sense."
