- The problem, of course, is that the courts are at the mercy of the
- provincial bureaucrats, who are clearly dedicated to doing as little as
- possible in such matters. If my ex-son-in-law could be brought into court
- with a show cause hearing, he'd have reached the end of the line, or would
- at least be forced to leave Canada to avoid jail (which is exactly where I
- would like to see him put).

- It's ironic - my grandchildren are visiting this scrooge for the weekend,
- and he isn't around today - he's "at work" you see... Perhaps an irate ex or
- two, picketing the employer who pays him under the table (so he can avoid
- paying taxes or child support, and, if possible, collect UIC at the same
- time - that's one of his old standbys) might help him recall his
- responsibilities.. anyone know single parents in the Gibsons/Sechelt area
- who are having similar problems running their ex's to ground? It shouldn't
- take more than an hour to find out where he's working this time around...
