Of interest bump..

I have a far better solution - the the government OUT of the marriage business entirely.

Of course that would mean having to scrap all the carrot & stick social engineering that's imposed through the tax codes, but hey, life is not without sacrifices, right?

[yianni]

malla?

[ntnychik]

Sen. Rick Santorum's point.

[Houmatt]

Oh, boy.

The words are Carman are really ringing in my ears, now:

When it gets to the point where we would rather come out of the closet than clean it, it's a sign the judgement of God is gonna fall!

.... declaring that the Federal Government must impose gay marriage upon the people of Canada in little more than a year..

They can call it whatever they want...but a 'gay union' will never be a real marraige.

[GovernmentShrinker]

What gives them the right to say to the couple who has been married for fifty years and which has five children and six grandchildren that, “you are no different than John and Jack who met one hot and noisy night in Stanley Park”?

They're not saying that. They're saying that Joe and Mary who met one hot and noisy night in a sleazy straight pick-up bar are no different than John and Jack who met one hot and noisy night in Stanley Park, and that as long as the government is registering marriages between the former, there's no legitimate reason not to register marriages between the latter. The real question is why any government is registering any of these relationships, or any of the ones between civilized people either.

[lilylangtree]

Good grief! Is this accurate?

[jimkress]

Swell. Now my neighbor can go to Canada and marry his great dane.

[Peter Libra]

One could, of course, borrow from Senator Rick Santorum. If this type of "marriage" is to be legal by government enacted laws ,then they might ponder this. Since the definition of and I do like it, of marriage was once- One man, one woman, one God, then at least the first idea holds absolute.(Even without the deity).

Thus why then should not a man marry two women or a woman marry two men during the same ceremony? For the life of me, I cannot see why not, if one law is made changing the original state, why not another and another?

My solution is the India-Pakistani one when India became independent from Britain.

All libs go north; all conservatives come south. Canada can be socialistic and PC and lib to its hearts content, and the U.S. can thrive and be the envy of the world.

[marktwain]

For thousands of years marriage has been between one man and one woman.

The author can't even get his facts correct. The above statement is false. There have always been numerous places where polygamy has been legal and honored. It still is, even today, in most of Africa, the middle east, and much of Asia.

[HamiltonJay]

Canada,

The home of draft dodgers, want to be frenchmen and gay culture.... Oh, Canada.

[RonF]

Questions:

1) What, in fact, did this decision say?

2)Is there general consensus among the mainstream as well as the conservative press that this is what their decision means?

3) Is there a higher tribunal that this decision can be referred to?

4) Is there a procedure for recalling/impeaching the members of the B.C. high court?

[JimRed]

Good, now maybe all our homosexuals will move to Canada...

[No Dems 2004]

Whatever happened to our friends in the North?

They're only ruinging themselves. Oh, how I pray they can stop this iniquitous thing, at very least for the sakes of the Americans.

It also underscores that we as a nation must ban gay marriage at the federal level, by means of a Constitutional Amendment. I've heard that Congress was planning to do this. Does anybody know of its progress?

[aristeides]

Why does the court of appeal of one province have the power to decree what the federal government must do?

[AD from SpringBay]

Maybe the sodomites in the United States will move north - silver lining?
