Year of the Family sparks debate in Manitoba
A Manitoba public debate questions what constitutes family in the International Year of the Family. Dr. Ruth Berry advocates broader, inclusive definitions including same sex couples and nontraditional arrangements, while Premier Gary Filmon emphasizes traditional family values. The piece contrasts official support with divergent social views and asks who defines “family.”
