But especially after today’s news, her and I are definitely thinking the country to the immediate north is looking like more and more of an option …

of course, make it a banana smoothie, and I might consider it …

Josh, is that “people with antlers,” as in people who have antlers, or the moose using their antlers for– uhhh, never mind. It’s been a long day. :o

Yay, Canada!

I think that even if a large number of people surveyed say they support this issue, the ones that actually get up and go out to vote are the people in the extreme right.

Hooray for Canada

The Canadian Senate is a rubber stamp. They have vetoed one bill in its entire history.

This is a done deal.

God Bless Canada

The thing is, once it’s enacted, it’s awfully hard to un-enact. So we’re really gaining ground here.

love love love, all ya need is love, ya ta ta ta ta!

But I understand that the Senate is expected to approve it, too, so a good hearty “Yay Canada!” probably isn’t premature.

Or try champaign! at the many weddings! I always cry at weddings, and then I get mildly soused.

I’m a 60 year old heterosexual, married since 1966, four kids, three grandkids. I’m hoping that my grandchildren grow up in a world without this particular stain of prejudice, where they say to me, as my children say now about racial prejudice, “Can you explain to me what people were thinking? This just doesn’t make any sense to me.”

Apparently France is talking about same-sex marriage (already got same-sex civil unions). UK’s civil partnerships (virtually legally identical to civil marriage) start December 5 - and I already have two wedding invites from couples who’ve been waiting years. Woo-hoo! For this, I’m buying a dress. ;-)

Anyone remember when *we* were the ones who could claim to be the nation that stood up for equal rights, equal respect, and equal opportunity?

Thanks,

Kim

Thanks, Mike

Mike, cool off. You need another beer. No one is bothering you, or subjecting you to shit. You don’t have a job? If you do, do it. If you don’t, get one. Leave other people alone.

A warning to my Yankee Friends.
Last night, Canada “legalized” same sex marriage. I use the quotes because it was already legal, but now the Federal Government has passed a law.

Since then, the social fabric of Canada has been torn apart. Every single person in Toronto, our largest city, is participating in a massive gay orgy. They’ve already ran out of batteries, chocolate (twice) and whipped cream (they sent the Blue Jays to Chicago to get more - you don’t have to give them back). 101% of our marriages have broken down. We have been hit with no less then 15 Biblical plauges. I only thought there were 10 myself - but that one with chili cheese dogs is really nasty. And Richard Simmons - who knew?

Rabid moose are roaming the streets, trying to violate people with antlers. Maple Syrup is the lube of choice. Paul Martin and Stephen Harper, our Prime Minister and Opposition Leader, have revealed themselves to be leather fetishes. They’re currently exercising their party whips with gleeful abandon.

Our stop lights don’t work, our tv channels are off the air and the radio plays nothing but Cher. God Himself appeared over Ottawa - our capital - slapped His Holy Forehead and said “What the fuck, you hoosers?”

Jesus is content to merely run around in a Speedo, snapping people with a wet towel.

Bugger’s got really good aim too . . .

Oh, shit. Gotta go. Looks like the local cops found a tribe of wandering First Nations people (Native Americans to you) and some construction workers and want to talk about a sing along and my secret desire to be a leather wearing biker.

Ta ta.

I love you Canada!

Great job, Canada!

So, yes, I’ll moderate the thread with regards to any trolling that might surface.
