Actually Lemon, Statistics Canada has only released figures on same sex marriage for 2003, (http://www.statcan.ca/Daily/En.....70117a.htm) so whatever “source” you are too lazy to look up isn’t by any means official, nor would I think very accurate.

In fact, the statistic they use for BC is just under just under 45% are Canadian couples, due to the influx of international same sex couples who wanted to be married in Canada. If this stat can be used as a proxy for same sex marriages being performed in other provinces post 2003, then you can start doing some quick math to see that the claims in this post are most likely false.

Here are some unofficial statistics from wikipedia:

Incidence of same-sex marriage
From June 2003 (date of the first legal same-sex marriages in Ontario) to October 2006, there were 12,438 same-sex marriages contracted in Canada, according to a study by Canadians for Equal Marriage.

Province Date of legalization Number of same-sex marriages
Ontario June 10, 2003 6,524
British Columbia July 8, 2003 3,927
Quebec March 19, 2004 947
Alberta July 20, 2005 409
Nova Scotia September 24, 2004 273
Manitoba September 16, 2004 193
Saskatchewan November 5, 2004 83
New Brunswick June 23, 2005 15
Newfoundland and Labrador December 21, 2004 14
Yukon July 14, 2004 13
Prince Edward Island July 20, 2005 8
Northwest Territories July 20, 2005 2
Nunavut July 20, 2005 1

So, being generous, if only 40% of same sex marriages in Ontario are Canadian, then since 2003, then that is approximately 2600.

That’s right, one.

The rest have been foreigners coming to Canada to get hitched then use their marriage license to launch a court challenge in their own country to force acceptance of gay marriage in their homeland.

Meanwhile, the SCOC is most likely to allow children to marry pets.

We all make decisions in life, and it is our right to do so.

Jesus doesn’t even expect consistency – that is why there are so many contradictions in the Bible.

Ha!

Ok – I won’t be so hard on you…

Both, just like everyone else here in the blog sphere.

You don’t seriously expect consistency do you Greg?

Jesus doesn’t even expect consistency – that is why there are so many contradictions in the Bible.

Jesus, you guys take yourselves way to seriously.

Huh? You chastise Aaron for his obviously NOT serious post on the Conservative party ads on a NASCAR, and now you’re complaining that some posters/commentators take themselves too seriously?

Which is it Ezra?

See here for a decent answer, if you’re really THAT interested.

*snicker*

So now, kids can legally have more than two parents.

People are considered to be common-law spouses under common-law if the legal parents of a child live together…

This means that we are one step away from officially recognizing polygamous relationships as common-law spouses in Ontario.

Remember, giving gay couples common-law status led to legalized gay marriage less than 5 years later.
