How would like your marraige, sir?

So it's official. The same-sex marriage bill passed in the Canadian Parliment last night, in the first extended session of government in 17 years.

What does this mean, you ask? Well, in theory, this makes Canada only the 3rd contry (behind the Netherlands and Belgium) in the world to allow for gay marriages. Practically, it doesn't mean too much. Most of Canada was already allowing same-sex marriages before the actual legislation, and the courts supported it, so it was really a matter of house keeping.

I wish I was watching the US news though today, to see their reactions. I have a slight notion that they may not take too kindly to this. I fully expect to hear the words "same-sex""marijuana" and "terrorism" in the same sentence a few times before the end of the day...

Anyways, good for us Canada! We actually did something moderately intelligent on the world stage. Not that legalizing gay marriages affects my life in any way shape or form, it's still been long overdue.
