You're really grasping at straws now.

A small number of militant gay activists self-servingly manipulating the Liberal-left-behind status quo & like pronouncements by obscure, quasi-official (at best!) entities hardly amount to any sort of all-encompassing "... Canadian posture in respect of encouraging gay marriage".

There's little of nothing left of your original position based upon your own numerous logically compelled concessions on this thread alone.
All that remains is mere armchair quarterbacking & disloyal doubting (from a conservative standpoint) with respect to Stephen Harper's overall long range strategies coupled with a dismal lack of understanding when it comes to both Parliamentary systems of government in general & Canadian federalism in particular.

In short, you now sound exactly like a Democrat busily fault-finding & spewing defeatism with regard to America's policies in Iraq.

Canadians on FreeRepublic trust President Bush as the leader of the free world in the international war on terrorism together with Secretary Rumsfeld and all of his other duly appointed Officials to competently & conscientiously execute his overall battle plans.

You (and any other U.S. based FReepers so inclined) should rightly knock off what is plainly just counter-productive carping & nitpicking & similarly trust & support Stephen Harper & his government to advance the conservative cause in Canada.

Okay, I accept your perseverance and the faith you have articulated in respect of your newly elected conservative government. I hope they live up to the trust you have placed in them.
