I've just heard that the Government of Ontario has put a "stay" (?) on the decision (not sure of the correct term) for at least two years, while they work on legislation to deal with this

Interesting. Hadn't heard that yet, but then during the day I tend to get all my news from FR!

Actually, I seem to remember that originally when this came up (after they tried to register the marriage) that the ON government's response was that they're hands were tied as the marriage laws were in federal jurisdiction. They merely registered the event. Maybe something's changed or the original reports were incorrect?

BTW, I agree with your "bigger issues" point. Up here we're more concerned right now with getting the bloody garbage off the streets following a two week long city services strike.

Cheers!

Gotta get their fingers wet to see which way the wind is blowing. OK Canadian heterosexuals, start turning on those fans! LOL
