Paul Okalik, the MLA for Iqaluit West, said Premier Eva Aariak was wrong to remove Louis Tapardjuk as justice minister over the weekend, after Tapardjuk had sent a two-page email to senior justice staff voicing his views on Canada's justice system.
In the email, in which he discussed Inuit traditional knowledge and the justice system, Tapardjuk wrote that the system has killed more young people through suicide than were ever murdered.
He also suggested that women who start domestic disputes share the blame if there is violence.
Okalik, who was justice minister as well as premier in the previous government, said Tapardjuk was only trying to start a debate.
"That's the only way we're going to find solutions, is to have maybe differences of opinion on the sources of some of the problems we face," Okalik told CBC News outside the legislature Monday.
"But that doesn't give you permission to just remove ministers from their portfolios."
Okalik said he agrees with Tapardjuk's view that long delays in the justice system have led to many suicides in Nunavut.
But Aariak stood by her decision to strip Tapardjuk of his portfolio, which she announced through a news release on Saturday.
"The comments that he made about violence or the cause of violence were offensive," Aariak told reporters.
Tapardjuk said his email was sent to just three of his staff members, but said he doesn't know how it got circulated to other people, including several media outlets.
"That email wasn't meant for anybody except for my staff, and I just wanted to get a good reaction from them before the cabinet retreat in [Cape] Dorset," he said.
"I wanted to get a good discussion, to get a feeling as to which direction we should be heading."
Tapardjuk said he accepts Aariak's decision and will concentrate on his other ministerial portfolios, which include the newly-created Languages Department and the Department of Culture, Language, Elders and Youth. He is also government house leader.
Still, he said he plans to remain vocal on justice issues in Nunavut.

Paul Okalik has committed a terrible sin, he has committed
"heresy" against feminist doctrine, where all men are violent simply because by
accident of birth, they were born with testicles and women, well according to
our feminist judiciary in family and criminal court, women are some kind of
sacred cows with helos around their heads who have a god given ability to parent
as soon as giving birth. Just as factual and equally substantive as the
children's golden books that show pigs jumping over the moon and witches flying,
be it contrary to Air Regulations without lights at night.
Fact, men don't suffer PMS, Fact is, women suffer from personality and mental
health problems far more than men. Take a look at the stats around the child
birth years and its an astronomical official 5:1 that is probably 10:1 if were
not adulterated or sanitized to be more politically palatable.
Fact is, stats show that women initiate violence at least as much as men.
Fact is, women have every thing to gain and nothing to loose by making a 911
call and simply hanging up, quite often after smashing the husband in the face
and he has blood trickling down his face when the police arrive and who arrest
him.
Most domestic violence calls are false, most calls are for the purpose of
abusing the criminal process to obtain orders , bail conditions, demanded by the
Police, as a condition of release, not to have any contact with the children.
If you are a male, remember if it happens to you, NEVER accept police
conditions, Stay in jail until you get bail hearing and after properly briefing
your lawyer so he can fight those crazy feminist conditions before a temporary
order creates a final order that can and does permanently terminate children's
relationships with their father.
Any father going to court is just as likely to end up a victim of a "Power
order" or a "Sheffield Order" named after draconian orders "striking pleadings"
or "vexatious litigant orders" simply to terminate a child's relationship with
his or her loving deserving father.
Lets say it, Women start domestic disputes to get rid of a husband. If a man
offers the least resistance, he will be arrested and carted out of the home and
in many cases, he never sees his kids again or looses custody to a mentally ill
violent woman.

Louis Tapardjuk said what was needed to be said, and should be
commended for speaking out on a taboo subject, the subject that is "feminist
heresy" of suggesting that "some women" are start domestic violence.
Louis Tapardjuk dramatically "UNDERSTATED" the problem.
Because Canada fails to have a legal presumption of equal parenting and
encourages an effective "Male Gender Apartheid" that treats men as second class
human beings when it comes to deciding access and custody, in fact there should
be nothing to decide, exactly like the inequitable inappropriate "child support
guidlines", There is ONE law for women, and another draconian law for men.
Our courts routinely end children's relationships with fathers, simply because a
violent mentally ill woman asks for it. Judge make "Sheffield Orders" that is
"striking pleadings" "vexatious litigant orders" depriving an accused of a right
to a trial, its a conviction without a trial, it puts fathers in jail on
quadruple hearsay evidence fabricated by a feminist lawyer.
Most importantly, Women generally have every reason to terminate a marriage, to
come out on top financially and to totally destroy a loving father.
Women can and do dial 911 , hang up and just wait for the police to come around
and say "I'm afraid of him" " i want him out of the home, and after some
coaxing, she "admits" he hit her, that's enough , no evidence, no marks, HE
could and frequently does have blood oozing out of his face and she says, "he
assaulted me, and I defended myself", no evidence to support her allegation,
but, he gets carted off to jail, and the police, yes the police insist on
conditions that he not see his kids etc, as a condition of release. Few men know
to stay in jail until they can get a bail hearing to fight the charges. In sum,
women use criminal process to avoid any family court to terminate a marriage
with catastrophic destruction. You can thank our government for its Male Sharia
laws and feminist appointed man hating Judiciary. See more at

Eva Aariak is a female politician and female politicians dare not cross the
feminists, especially the extreme feminists, Louis Tapardjuk was probably about
to question funding to the "One Stop Divorce Shop" lobby group, aka women's
shelters.
What we are seeing is a "political war", and a feminist premier attempting to
destroy a man, Louis Tapardjuk because he had the courage to talk about the
realities of domestic violence. he was being very polite, he understated the
problem, he was respectful of the feminist extremists and obviously did not want
to cross them, perhaps he sensed the dangerous area he was stepping into.
Bottom line is, Louis Tapardjuk has become an instant hero, anyone would think
he had just flown a airbus on an all engines out glide approach and landing in
an Airbus 310.
Louis Tapardjuk has proven in more ways than one that he the balls to say what
is needed to be said and is not going to be easily intimidated.
I'd like to nominate Mr. Louis Tapardjuk for the Order of Canada not to mention
the respect of every father in Canada who has had their lives and their
children's lives destroyed by the extreme feminist lobby group. Check out the
research on judicial bias in Ontario by Peter Roscoe at www.OttawaMensCentre.com
Notice how "Wild Woman" fails to address the issue , that women can be
violent too? The issue is not weather violence is wrong, even a two year old
could answer that question, its a "Wild Woman" "diversion, is a red herring, of
course you have to agree with everything she says, I DO, but, her bias, her
feelings towards men just oozes out of the article, WHY would anyone genuinely
concerned about Domestic "abuse" not assume its an equal gender problem?
"Wonder Woman" would have us believe that only men are violent, she too is
gunning for those who say anything that is the offense of "Feminist Heresy".
Hate to say, it some African countries have a terrible practice of putting
menstruating women in special barns, Fact is, some woman, not all, a small
percentage suffer very violent mood swings immediately before their period and
its this group, that might save their marriages if they took a vacation away
from home for a few says when they know that mood will hit them, rather that
then the chronic scheduled Husband abuse. Of course, you can't mention PMS ,
that's feminist heresy.
So, perhaps Wild Woman should be discussing How "Painful Periods" co-exist with
extreme PMS", only one problem with that one, There is no such thing as "Extreme
PMS", its called, an underlying mental health problem.
If you are guy, and suffering the effects of a victim of the above, smile,
laugh, enjoy the humour of it, remember, often its a cry for attention, or
underlying unresolved anger" or, it could also mean "the check engine light" has
come on, and you forgot to do the servicing. :) Smile, you have no option.

"nuckfan4evr" thinks readers are like mushrooms, Sorry, we are not. Readers
are male and female, only a deranged person would dare to suggest that only one
gender is responsible or domestic "abuse", lets drop the violence because verbal
and psychological is often far more damaging. Take "sleep deprivation" constant
put downs, such as "you are not a real man", "you don't make enough money for my
needs" "I need to trade you in , get child support and a man with more
money"...That's is an example of what a Male victim of Female abuse endures,
only a snap shot of just a small fraction of the wide variety of psychological
abuse that men suffer from female abusers.
Now, men also have personality disorders, be it 20% of the female rate around
those "child rearing ages" but, you can just change the expressions, "you not
real woman", "you dud @#$", , Abusers of EITHER GENDER have identical underlying
personality problems, so, we need to LOOK at WHY does ONE person in a
relationship get "Absolute Power", its because our Government is SICK, it treats
men as "second class human beings" we have judges issuing "Sheffield Orders"
thats the order a judge makes for no other reason than a pathological hatred
towards a male litigant and a willingness to obstruct justice to make an illegal
decision for no other reason than to stay in practice in being an professional
at demonstrating how to Flagrantly Abuse Judicial Power, and of course Judges
are at the top of the tree when it comes to absolute power, and its propensity
and probability for abuse.
Domestic Abuse victims are of either gender, and deserve empathy and compassion,
you never know, the underlying reasons why abusers become abusers, one very
frequent underlying denominator is "child hood sexual abuse" or "childhood
abuse" and it can result in a pathological hatred towards the gender of the
abuser thats even seen a lot in gay and lesbian dysfunctional relationships and
thats another story....
