What I thought was funny is that on the same week eleven states passed state constitutional bans on same-sex marriage, Saskatchewan legalized it. And why not? Saskatchewan needs the tourism money! Of course, Paul Martin and company better act ASAP on the same-sex legislation or Stephen Harper might get enough support to block such a piece of legislation... I'm sorry, but it's hard to type that with a straight face. Like Stephen Harper can block anything. The guy's like Wiley Coyote. Give him a gun, and it explodes in his face.
