Gay Marriage: Part 2

In a story from the CBC, gay marriage faces some challenges in Canada. I can't say I didn't say so, I believe if you look back a little while ago about gay marriage in Alberta and how they wouldn't take it. Sure enough, Alberta's Justice Minister Ron Stevens says he wants to protect various groups from being forced to perform gay marriages if it goes against their beliefs, and he is planning on invoking the notwithstanding clause of the Canadian constitution. For those of you reading this in the rest of the world, the "notwithstanding clause" is like being able to say no I won't do that when it's something you have to do. The United States has something like that called "State's Rights", where the Federal government, if it doesn't have the explicit right to run something that is given to the state, it's sort of like that. If you have further questions, email me (it's one of those links on the left, I promise). Anyways, Alberta is planning on telling the Feds to go do something anatomically impossible, something Alberta has been doing for a long time. The notwithstanding clause makes it a lot harder to have a gay marriage performed in Alberta. Hats off to the Alberta government for doing what the people want, which is much more than I can say for Canada's moronic leader Paul Martin and his band of cronies known as the Liberal Party of Canada. Congrats Alberta, at least someone from my homeland is getting it right.
