Same Sex Debate.....back again.
I meant to blog about this earlier, but for some reason forgot to do it. Anyway, I got an email concerning it so thought i'd do it now.
I, like many Canadians thought the Same Sex marriage issue was finally put to rest. Lo and behold Stephen Harper brought it up early on in the campaign. He's going to re-open this issue, and have a free vote if elected. Bottom line is, considering the court rulings on the matter, in order to do anything about it no matter what the vote outcome, he'll have to use the notwithstanding clause. Do we really want a Prime Minister, who would do this? He'd be willing to stomp on the courts, and Canadian's right's simply because of his personal "moral" beliefs. Sounds rather George Bush like to me. And yeah, I find that attitude kind of scary in a "leader".
Don't we have more important issues for Harper to worry about, if indeed he did form a government, than to worry about who is sleeping with who??
Just my opinion.
