"Didn't I hear something lately about gay marriage and the US Senate?"

Exactly, you have hit the nail right flush, square on the head. The conservatives in the US Congress are standing up for what they believe. There are lots of liberals who vehemently disagree, but the conservative senators still fight for what they believe in. The Senators are trying to stop gay marriages from becoming legal as a result of judicial activism.
In Canada, gay marriage was made legal by the elected government. In Canada, it appears everyone plays nice. Gay mounties get married, gay diplomats make Canada the country of choice and nobody is offended. The RCMP "supports" the marriage of two officers, "in uniform." The Prime Minister tells his party members they should not be critical of the happy nuptials. Does nobody up there get it? It is a dangerous world and you guys are playing patty cake. If you really are conservative it is time to suck it up and stand up for what you believe in. This is especially true for the government.

As I understand it there is going to be a vote on the issue in the parliament. Also, to remain in office the conservatives have to go carefully as they are in a minority and risk being defeated on the floor of the parliament. If this happens they are out of office. This is a different system to the US. Best they proceed carefully and consolidate their position so that they get a majority next election.

Why would you assume I'm not offended by that?

I'm sure you've heard the word "priority".

Gosh, you sure are fixated on this subject.

Did you used to be gay or something?

BTW, you have yet to answer my question about your location.

Where do you live? Paradise?

Wow, very impressive -- you seem to know so much about Canada...
When you've finished solving all the problems in your own country, maybe
you can come up here and share some more of your wisdom with us.
Until then, STFU.
