One of the few things that Chretien did that I liked. When this was still being discussed here, even I was of the mindset, 'let's just put it to a referendum.' I would vote for extending all rights including the title marriage, but if the majority feels that isn't correct who am I to say?
But I watched the debate about it and Chretien simply said that a referendum wouldn't do because, (paraphrased) 'you can't leave the freedoms of a minority up to the will of a majority.' And of course that is correct. We don't have the right to decide on anyone else freedoms, especially if we ourselves already enjoy them.
One of the few intelligent things the guys said...
