It Was A Crime At The Time, But The Laws Have Changed

By Joshua Errett

In a landmark decision for human rights, PM Paul Martin and the Liberal government will be allowed to introduce same-sex marriage unions to Parliament next year. The bill will seek to redefine marriage as “the lawful union of two persons,” and will also protect the rights of religious organizations that refuse to perform same-sex marriages, like the National Post. In another bold move, Paul Martin called Canada the “world’s most post-modern country” as a result of the Supreme Court’s decision. Martin went on to say that www.torontoist.com is the “world’s most post-modern website.” He later added that I am the “world’s most post-modern individual.” Thanks for the compliment PM. And thanks for trying to make our society more egalitarian. Canada will likely join Netherlands and BELGIUM as nations that allow same-sex unions.
