The Status of the Family in Canada .
By Walter Block

Judy Erola, minister responsible for the
status of women, was planning to take away tax
concessions from married’ women living at
home, and use the proceeds to increase deduc-
tions for money spent on outside daycare.

The state, In other words, would have taken ° -

, Mnonéy away from tHose Women who cared for

_thelr children at home, and'giveh it to mothers
who made use of daycare facilities,

Fortunately, this ill-concéived plan has been .
withdrawn,smothered by. widespread cries of
‘outrage. Minister Erqla, however} still: favours
the idea, conceding only thatthe proposal was
‘premature.’ °- ALK dae,

But what possible justification could: there be
for government giving families financial in- -
centives to. increase the number of hours per .

. week that children are cared for outside the
home?

In looking for explanations, one must not be
paranoid. On the other hand, In the year

. preceding that of Big Brother 1984, it would .
not do to overlook any explantions out of yn-
due fear of appearing alarmist. ©

- So let us consider one possible explanation
that the institutions of the centralizing in-
terventionist state and that of the family have
historically been at odds with one another, and

_ that the recent Erola initiative is but the latest
' chapter in this unfolding saga.
' A government bent on taking an-ever larger
role in the life of its citizenry sogner or later
Funs into conflict. with other institutions--
church, union, family--which also command
the strong loyalties of the people. And when
this occurs, the government must eliher givé up
its totalitarian aspirations, or determine to en-
tera give-no-quarter war with these alternative
Institutions:

In the countries behind the iron curtain, this
war was fought long ago, and institutions such -
as church, family, union, ethnic group have
long ago been vanquished, — . ,

-In Canada, the battle is yet to be fought, in its

entirety. That is to say, there is still hope for |

private Institutions such as the family.
But every time the government successfully
_ promotes daycare above the natural level (hat
would otherwise ensue, or artifically . entices
women out of the home and into the work--
force, or, as In the case of Minister Erola, at-
tacks tax treatment of married women living at
home, to that extent it weakens the family as an
aliernative to government.

The logical. extension of such a procedure
would be family life as itis known behind the
iron curtain—a less viable institution than we
have been able to maintain at home-—-so far.

Im order to preserve and protect the
. _ Canadian family, it fs not necessary to take a
“‘maximalist’’ position: that the government
should do everything in its power to artificially
strenghten the family, by penalizing alternative
- institutions, such as unmarried status or.
childlessness. To do this smacks of putting the
fox in charge of the chicken coop,
- It ts enough to adopt = ‘minimalist’
position: that the state merely refrain from s
adopting pol policies which jead to family disrup-
on.

Less’ than -hatf those in .

The belt tolls for OPEC. The members of this

organization which in recent years has seemed. so
powerful are trying to assure the world that the bell i is
tolling not only for OPEC but foreach of us.’

There is no shortage of- politicians or professors

“who ‘will try to convince us that-we should regret the
collapse of OPEC and that the Western countries .
should do their best to save it from almost certain
death.

However, it would be important to ‘realize why. the
Western world isnow paying such a high price for the
events which took place at the beginning of the seven-
ties and contributed to the creation of-a monstrous .
organization which attempted to govern the world
economy, dictating unjustifiably high prices for oil
and making of ‘that oil not a mineral but rather a
political symbol.

In 1973 the leaders of the free world bowed to

‘Arab pressure and to the oil embargo which was an- ~"
_ Hounced by. the League of Arah countri¢s as a teper-....

cussion of. Western ‘assistance’ to ‘Istael during the

Yom Kippur War. It would be fair to say thatit was:

the oil monopolies who retreated first and moreover |
_used the Arab boycott . as an excuse for skyrocketing -
‘ prices,.From that point on the international financial
system and the energy industry had to adjust to the
incredibly high pricesofoil. Le
_ . There were more than enough professors at that.
time who proved scientifically that in the eighties we -

would face great shoriages of energy and that oil.

would become a tuxury. “Even in 1981 when it was -

already clear that there is so much oil in the earth that. .

the’ economy of our planet i is not able to consume it, a
group.of scientists in London published a gloomy

‘prediction that the yera 1983 ‘would be a time of a

new energy crisis. It's not so important who paid for.

this reasearch. Much more significant is the fact.that..- .
the society in which we. live can ‘be easily deceived. | -

Ten years ago when the: energy crisis took the. West,.
by. storm there were many‘ scientists, genuine one, ’
who knew that the. resources of oil are practically

unlimited for: the foreseeable future. But no one -.

listened to them. -

OPEC, whicli was established more for political .:
than for economic reasons, used this mood of panic me

to dictate the prices and political conditions to the in-
dustrialized. world. «Instead of. resisting, the West

- “tried to adjust “‘pragmatically’’ to a new situation. It

would have been-reasonahle for Western politicians »
and economists to ask themselves the question in the
mid-seventies: ‘‘What wou'd Saudi Arabia or Kuwait '
do if no one bought their oil, at least for several mon-
ths, when the energy produced by non-OPEC coun-
tries and by the West itself, was enough to survive for.

_ Several months without serious implications? It was

proved later when, because of the war between Iraq
and-Iran - two major suppliers of cil - these countries
had to cut their output by two thirds. The world com: *
munity in fact did not even notice the difference. :
«Having tolerated for ten years the dictatorship of"
OPEC, today the West is frightened that the collapse’ :
of this organization will bring down the price of oil, -
This ‘paradoxical situation can be overcome if our;
society is ‘prepared to bring about a deep-rooted:
teform of our energy. industry and to adjust to |

operating at lower oil prices.: That would be-much’s -

“more effective than to make attempts to save OPEC,

‘And then no one will: regret the death ‘of that’ ’
