Tell you what, call the government and ask them to leave a spot open for us okay?

We'll move as soon as we get back from our trip.

B.C. Senator Gerry St. Germain, an outspoken critic of the bill, fears judges are determining policies that should be decided by conscience.

"If we don't stop this ... I know what the next steps are. Euthanasia. Decriminalization of marijuana," said St. Germain

I think this is an appropriate place to say, "It's the Charter, stupid!"

All those pot-smoking, suicide-committing gays!!...?

Ayup. The judges are just doing their jobs, dude.

What I really don't get is the perceived connection between same-sex marriage and marijuana... like, wtf?! Is it on The Homosexual Agenda to be able to toke at gay weddings, or something?

Yes, decriminalization of marijuana probably IS coming up in the next few years -- but someone please explain to me what the hell it has to do with same-sex marriage??

It's the "omg social liberalism! the first seal is broked!" reaction. To be fair, if the country seemed to be turning down the social conservatism path, we'd be pointing to a legal decision that was anti-abortion as a sign that more of women's rights are next for the chopping block.

Like what we've got going on here! Everyone is claiming that the Handmaiden's Tale and 1984 will be the model for society by next week.
