It was the "free vote" part of what Harper said that I really wanted to "hear hear" Metchosin. Perhaps what we need is another Charlottetown-type referendum, where ALL Canadians could finally vote for themselves on this most "personal" of issues.

And methinks, in all fairness, that such a referendum would best be funded by the gay lobby groups themselves - NOT with federal funds!

As to what Harper said about the Bloc, well ... why is it that in Canada we must tolerate an organization committed to destroying our country?   Not only must we tolerate it, but we must even give it authority to make vitally important national decisions on behalf of the rest of us? Do you think the Bloc MP's care one IOTA about what's best for Canada, or Canadians?

What a farce!
