Homo canadius

I woke up this morning to the news that activist judges in Canada's high court ruled this morning that the country's constitution does not prohibit same-sex marriage, opening the door for Canadian lawmakers to pass legislation redefining marriage to include same-sex couples. A measure like this would be a joke in America, simply a gesture by Congress to flagrantly dismiss the gay community. "Hey guys, look at this! Nobody but Dennis Kucinich wants to let you get hitched! And he's an elf! Ha!"

In Canada, well:

One top Liberal predicted the legislation should pass easily after its introduction, likely early next year. It already has the support of the 38-member Liberal cabinet and virtually all the 54 Bloc Quebecois and 19 New Democrat MPs.
