Will the Issue of Same-Sex Marriage Please Stand Up

By Joshua Errett

It’s unclear whether this mockumercial is in support of the Conservative Party or meant to ridicule their opinions on homosexuality (more likely the former, effectively the latter). Though the ad is clearly a fake (the author is listed as conservativeparty.ca), it may have real implications: Perhaps the same-sex marriage issue may still be a relevant debate, especially if Stephen Harper will attempt to reverse the definition of marriage and thus override the Charter of Rights.
Most of this re-vote on same-sex marriage business came up in the first few weeks of the campaign, but, given Harper’s new position as front-runner, look for it to emerge in Monday’s leaders debate.
Also, the NDP have real commercials out.
