Oh? How would you know that? Public opinion polls released recently
say just the opposite.
Do you live in downtown Calgary, or one of its suburbs?

Robinson? Which Robinson? The N.B.A. star?

Really? Dozens of marriage licences have been issued in Toronto and a
number of ceremonies have taken place. The province has stated that
it will recognise these unions.
It certainly *looks* as though we did.

[1] You must be singularly unobservant not to have noticed that
***laws change from time to time***.
In the 18th C. slavery was legal in Canada. Some Loyalists brought
their slaves with them, when they left the U.S. for what is now
Canada, in the 1880s.
According to your logic, since those in charge had NOT outlawed
slavery in the 18th C., it ought to be permitted today.
[2] You are raising objections to "judicial activism".
That is the ordinary position of neo-conservatives. Are we entitled
to list you as a right-wing crazy?
Right-wing crazies yell loudly, when the courts adopt any position
that they see as "too liberal". They purr contendedly, however,
when the courts uphold any conservative position.
In truth, they are not against judicial activism.
They are against any changes that are liberal in their nature.
Tough titty. Most Canadians do not share their viewpoint.

Thanks for an entertaining post.
It is astounding to me that some religious zealots think that is
perfectly all right for them to attempt to impose their peculiar
personal standards on *everyone*.
You'll have noticed that these are the same people who get themselves
in a frenzy over Canada having a few of the R.C.M.P. in turbans.
They are religious bigots, although they will go to great lengths to
deny that fact.

Is that the case?
What *should* impress you is that I am not a back-shooting coward,
who comes here under a pseudonym to attack others with poison-pen
letters.
Get the guts to identify yourself properly, and maybe you'll start to
impress some of us too.
Until then your opinions are worthless, since you won't stand behind
them.
All anonymous criticism is chicken-shit, baby.
