Gay marriage is actually not the same at all. It's been defined a constitutional right. No matter how politically unpopular it was (which it isn't at all) the government would be forced to either make legislation legalizing it or ignoring the problem (ala abortion) making it ostensibly legal but not politically endorsed. Why is the gay marriage issue so hard for some people to understand? Talk about morality at the behest of rational cognitive processes.
So to say that underfunding the military and legalizing gay marriage are the same is a false statement. I can provide you with polls after polls which indicate that the Canadian public supports our military but not at the cost of health care, education and the like. Therefore why is it wrong for the Liberals to do that if they are essentially acting in a democratic manner. For you, you say that the "government needs to do what is right for Canadians, regardless of what Canadians think about it." I see that statement as inherently problematic.
Don't get me wrong, I've never voted Liberal in my life, but some of the whining about them on this board is ludicrous.
Show me why I should vote for the Conservatives. I mean, if corruption and wasted money is your litmus for approval then the Mulroney debacle comes to mind easily.
