I actually agree with this move. The reason? I am tired of people having no idea which is my first name and which is my last name (even when the form that I filled out has a separate place for each!) It annoys me to no end to be called Mr. 'first name'

Snow flakes that get offended that it makes sense to use gender neutral terms as those don’t actually offend anyone you mean?
I use gender neutral terms all the time as frankly, occasionally it’s hard to tell, and it’s no skin off my nose.
Canada is becoming the opposite of democracy. Extremist minority dictating how majority should live.

This is not an issue as to whether parent or mother is offensive, it's about a government authoritarianism creeping in -- the so called slippery slope of socialism.
We are a free nation, free to think, free to speak, free to reason -- we don't need government to reorganize and legislate the salutations we use to communicate with one another.

Canada is one of the few places sliding from liberal democracy to social democracy. If history is a good indicator of what happens when socialism takes hold, we're heading for some rough seas. Look through Europe, things get downright nasty when you go too far - Greece, Portugal, Spain, Italy and Ireland hit socialism's financial brink.
Canadians always pull back before it's roots too deeply, that's happening now in Ontario. It may happen at the federal level next election.

yes, those are some examples of poorly managed economies
but I was referring more to social policy MM
doesn't cost one cent to evolve federal government to more suit the populace
what has become of the Canadian Conservatives who live in an echo chamber
feel they have Liberals ramming social policy down their throats
but the facts are the majority of Canadians are supportive of inclusiveness
why do you guys think the Harper Gov got tossed ?
they were good stewards of the economy
foreign policy was mostly inline with what Canadians want
they produced stable, responsible government
so why did they get destroyed by a lefty party with a school teacher for a leader?
The key word being respect. I have a brother Christened "Robert". Some call him that, others call him Rob, Bob, Robbie. I can call him brother. He doesn't care as long as it is done with respect. Instead of nit picking to avoid dealing with real problems the politically correct deflect attention from their incompetence. Why isn't this energy being spent on teaching people to respect each other regardless of whether they are Mr, Mrs, Miss or Ms?
Two dads? So what! Treat them all the same. Who cares if Joey's parents are Bill and Mary or Tom and Fred.

You mean like those intolerant of words like mother and father? Those who force their belief on others using state power? Isn't that how all dictatorships work? The man on top just forces his will on people and they better shut up and take it or else? So progressive!
And regarding your other comment:
"true

Seems like you missed a very massive point from a little known Greek philosopher called Plato and his views on democracy:
"Plato thought that any democracy would be overrun by the ‘tyranny of the majority’ (this is why modern democracies have constitutions). In contrast to this, he proposed a form of ‘enlightened’ despotism where people are put into ranked castes, with the ‘gold hearted’ being the ruling ‘philosopher kings’, the lesser castes doing ‘lesser’ work. In Plato’s republic, you may also only marry within your caste, incest is permissible as long as the people practising it will have desirable offspring (i.e. both are very good philosopher rulers) and other such things. Plato also believed that only enlightened philosophers will enter his idea of the eternal afterlife (the ‘World of the Forms’) while politicians are the lowest of the low, and seek to misguide the people."

Plato was a smart dude
and other smart dude said this:
‘Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.…’
