Tourism Commission Looks to Woo Gay Couples to Canada Josh Pringle Friday, June 16, 2006

The Canadian Tourism Commission wants to attract same-sex couples to Canada.

The agency has launched an advertising blitz in the United States to woo gay couples to tie the knot in Canada.

If you want to express your objections:

I encourage Americans to write as well. You just know American gay couples will use this to get their unions acknowledged by American courts.

I guess they will have to bone up on their Canadian phrases eh?

As in, "The mounties always get their man?"..hahah, I should work for their ad agency.

Maybe some kind of compromise would work...Send them all to Quebec.

[Izzy Dunne]

I don't mind them going to Canada - as long as Canada keeps them.

[Caipirabob]

Where do I contribute?

[seasoned traditionalist]

Good riddance.

Of course, you KNOW, when they (unfortunately) return, one or more will use their "marriage" to challenge the [un]acceptance of their union here in our courts

Stupid Canadians.

That is why I stopped being proud of my heritage (both parents from Montreal) a LONG time ago.

Gee, I wonder how they will be received by the Islamofacist?

What does the Koran say about gay marriage?

I know what they do to adulterers: Bury them up to their necks and stone them to death.

[Loyalist]

Turn the tables.

Promote America to Canadian couples who want to get married with a clean marriage licence that homosexuals can't get.

[gaspar]

San Francisco is not going to like this.

[Erasmus]

We could suggest that the Tourism Commission hand its project over to the Immigration Commission.

I can just see the South Park episode now...

[sine_nomine]

Bottom's up, eh?

[Gorzaloon]

Ignore what I said...
It was just a Fairy Tale

Hahahaha

Just way too funny. I noticed this one did not get the routine ping to all Canadians, thought I might help out. Does the Canadian Tourism Commission get money from the new conservative government?

[no dems]

Good! Let them stay there.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Well, Canada does have the biggest butt-plug in creation...

Interesting that you should ping me to this thread Spatso.

For some reason you think I want to have a discourse with you on the subject of homosexuals in Canada.

You would be incorrect.

Canada ping!

Please FReepmail me to get on or off this ping list.

[darkangel82]

"bone up"? bad word choice there.
ping for list (ugh)

[kanawa]

Am I mistaken or have you inserted your own comments into the body of the article?

The article at the link looks like this...

The Canadian Tourism Commission wants to attract same-sex couples to Canada.

The agency has launched an advertising blitz in the United States to woo gay couples to tie the knot in Canada.

Yesterday, Justice Minister Vic Toews wouldn't comment on the campaign.

But Toews says Prime Minister Stephen Harper has promised a free vote on same-sex marriage in the fall.

"For some reason you think I want to have a discourse with you on the subject of homosexuals in Canada"

Just teasing, does nobody in Canada have a sense of humor?

[fanfan]

Stupid Canadians.

I am one of many Canadian Conservatives on this forum.

Welcome to Free Republic.
