Which means that we have nothing to say on the matter. It's up to the people.  How horrendous of us! |
So what you're saying is that the WRA is socially moderate, where socially moderate is defined such as not to protect minority rights from tyranny of the majority. Saying "let the people decide" is only socially moderate if the people are socially moderate. I'd say in Alberta, that's probably not the case. This kind of thinking leads to crap like Proposition H8, and that was California, home of Hollywood and San Francisco. Garbage in, garbage out.
