What is the news in the fresh release of census data about families? According to the headlines, Canadian families have evolved into a riot of diversity, with a blended-family Brady Bunch on every block and a kid with two daddies in every playgroup.

If you lean toward the right, you can smell the social rot. The family is crumbling, and the children won’t be all right.
