And on the subjects of Klein and same sex marriage, he says that his government may stop solemnizing marriages altogether, leaving marriages to the work of the churches. Apparently, JPs would be allowed only to grant civil unions, not marriages. And here I thought his beef was with same sex marriage, not atheist marriage. My fiance and I were planning to get married using a JP, because we're not at all religious. Under this legislation, the most we could do is get a civil union unless we went to a church? WTF is that supposed to prove, Ralph?

Probably that Ottawa is wrong in forcing all provinces to adopt same-sex marriages laws. [/b][/quote]
Yeah, which would be fine (well not fine, but at least understandable) if this reaction had anything to do with same sex marriages. But a gay couple will still be able to get married in Alberta simply by going to a church that allows gay marriages, so he hasn't "protected" the traditional view of marriage at all.
