Based on that email we saw this morning, we still qualify. If possible, I'm casting my vote in the pot. Darn good question. Based on that email we saw this morning, we still qualify.

If (when!) Obama wins, it would give the Liberals an extra footing. I agree that most governments don't take away rights, but you first have to actually see something as a right (instead of something that was forced upon you by a previous government). Either way, I'm hoping for another minority government. ;) Totally reactionary, which is why Harper called the election before the US election. If (when!)

I think we're going to see most of the movement on this issue on the other side of the border. It's certainly going to be a major US election issue, whether the candidates wish it or not. If anything happens here in Canada, I'd guess it will be reactionary to what's going on in the US. Unfortunately.

Where the hell did you get the idea that I was an American? J - I put nothing past Harper and the stupidity of the right to revisit solved issues. That said, I did a quick poke around to see if there was anything final on the topic. <a href="http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20061207/samesexmarriage_vote_061207/20061207?hub=TopStories" rel="nofollow">It does look closed</a>, admittedly, and hopefully stays that way. But there's that voice in the back of my head that suggests we ain't seen the last of this, either. Very funny, Mike. :P (Jerk…) Where the hell did you get the idea that I was an American?

That's odd, and contrary to what most other nations do. And I don't buy that they'd be able to repeal the ss marriage laws, if they even attempt. After the last free vote, I believe even Harper agreed that the issue was settled, once and for all. You can’t vote if you’re an expat? That’s odd, and contrary to what most other nations do.
