So I just watched Bill C-38 pass, live on CPAC. Now, I'm not some huge same-sex marriage proponent, but I do consider myself liberal. Perhaps not A Liberal, but liberal in the non-political sense of the word. Bill C-38, incidentally, is the bill modifying the meaning of 'marriage' to include same-sex couples.
I think a large part of my satisfaction at seeing this come to pass is that it's a major defeat for Harper's Conservatives. There were even 2 or 3 Conservative MPs who voted 'yes' on the bill.
On a side note, there's a Bloc Quebecois member named Mr. Laframboise (the raspberry). That's awesome. That's him off on the left. Isn't he a happy looking fellow?
*lol* I love that last name. I might keep it in mind if I ever need to enter the witness protection plan and change my name.
