According to an unsigned editorial in the Ottawa Sun some dads don't deserve the title.
The comment field is not moderated so have at it people though be respectful and not sink to the level of the commentators blatant misandry. Article here. Excerpt:
Yesterday was Father's Day, a B-list occasion when compared to Mother's Day, or even Valentine's Day.
This is no secret.
Yes, we're a day late and a penny shy.
But so what?
Fathers will understand this, especially if yesterday passed with little or no fanfare -- with only a card, perhaps, or some cheap cologne.
...
It should be noted that not all dead-beat dads are wearing that label by choice.
Too many child advocate offices and provincial family responsibility offices have pushed many fathers over the brink by garnisheeing wages way beyond reasonableness, thereby forcing them into untenable positions.
These agencies must lighten up, and wake up to the reality that one cannot get financial blood from a stone once the stone has bled out.
Diminishing the role of fathers in the lives of their children through bureaucracy will only make matters worse.
Do yourself a favour if you are a non-believer.
Go sit in young offenders court, and then wander across the hall into family court.'
