NDP Leader Brian Mason likened the bill to Alberta recently using a photo of a British beach in an ad to promote the province.
"This government just spent $25 million of taxpayers money to give Alberta a new image. All they've done is make Alberta look like Northumberland and sound like Arkansas," Mason said.
Seriously, though, the gov't was stuck between a rock and a hard place. With a large Mormon population in the south of Alberta they were facing years and years of lawsuits and headaches if they didn't do this. It mean that Evolution will be taught but you (your kid) has/have the right to walk out. It was the easiest decision: to make no decision and throw the ball in another court.
