Certainly. Thank you for that.
Canada has some fairly robust jurisprudence because the provinces will look at other provinces' jurisprudence, but there is no doubt that certain provinces like Ontario have a much more well-developed body of law on equal parenting, with the application of the maximum contact principle to its ultimate end. In other provinces, it's very thin.
It shouldn't depend on where the family lives to get that benefit. Urban centres versus rural centres—in rural centres, sometimes there's only one or two judges in a centre, and you don't get diversity of views. They may be of a prior generation, prior to the latest social science research, or they haven't been trained in what we now know today.
Ultimately, the biggest arbitrariness is whether you're represented or not.
