F4J Canada in Action

Feb 08, 2005 Yellowknife, NT - Today was a landmark event marking the constituents meeting by Northwest Territories Premier the Honourable "Captain Joe" Handley.

PLYWOODMAN entered the meeting in full costume and was the first to ask a question.

P.M. refered to the five expert witnesses, who provided testimony last month to the "Evil Dr. Dent" and reminded Captain Joe of the 50% rate of un-tested and un-subsantiated evidence of abuse stemming from the Family Court, now about to cause two fold problems with the introduction of bil-21 D.V.

PLYWOODMAN then asked what confidence can be given to

"fix" these problems and was shuffled to his MLA. PLYWOODMAN then remained silent for a while and let other people spew their issues.

He then struck one last time, and mentioned that his family has campaigned feaverishly for four years to "Two Federal Governments, Two Provincial Governments (Ontario and Alberta) and Two Territorial Governments" and cannot identify a single child centered service to assist the custodial parents of our children with their possesive parenting approach, and remain left out in the cold. he added that judging by the response of the D.A.D.S. of the North program we is not alone.

He reminded "Captain Joe" that this Government has spent a great deal of money on same sex marriage, and in Yellowknife their are but 10 lesbian couple and no male gay couples and pointed to the 50% divorce rate. He further reminded the Premier that the Legislative Assembly in short is a healing circle and that people are getting hurt and now hurting themselves.

He then asked "Captain Joe" what confidence he can give to resolve this issue, and again reminded PLYWOODMAN that it will be raised to the Minister of Justice and the Minister for Social Services and shuffled him to his MLA. PLYWOODMAN then responded that he has spoken to his MLA for three years, has spoken to the Minister for Social Services for Two and has now spoken to the Minister of Justice for one.

P.M. closed by referring to a "Class action suite" and stated that he was very disappointed and left the meeting. The press were quick to follow, and P.M. was then advised that "Captain Joe's" set stated charge following P.M.'s depature was "I'm sure glad I have a healthy marriage"
