"...Paul Martin wants to impose same-sex marriage."
No, he doesn't. How does he want to do that? I've seen no indication that the proposed legal change would make such marriage mandatory; not even for religious institutions, which (certainly according to the Supreme Court) will continue to have to right to refuse to perform marriages to whomever they please. It's not even like the legality of smoking, which forces me, every once in a while, to take some of someone else's unhealthy choice into my lungs; the extent to which it will probably chafe a few people that the government acknowledges the validity of a moral standard other than their own can only be termed an imposition in the loosest sense. Are they being intentionally misleading?
This entry is about how Stephen Harper made me politically grumpy enough to complain about it in my weblog.

Disturb the universe?
Or maybe he means "impose on every province," which would result in being married except in Alberta. Such a piecemeal approach is not very Canadian.
