Why would you get a job as a marriage commissioner if you didn't believe in commissioning marriages?

I wouldnt...doesnt mean others wouldnt i guess. I am saying however that there were commisionaires long before there was gay marriage and as such they should not be forced to do what they dont believe in....im still saying i find it very doubtful there would be many, if any, of them however and if need be someone who doesnt mind would have to do it for them. Again an non-issue in my books.

But you don't think that guy at Suncor should be fired, because he has the right to refuse to do his job based on his "conscience rights". It's surprising, but it's right there...

Actually i would think he should be fired yes....but again I doubt anyone would get into such a position with such a bellief system. Not a comparable at all unless every existing marriage commisionaire was vetted first and said they had no such issue then changed their stance. I am much much more talking about medical professionals who are against abortion.
On top of all this theoretical stuff though....why would any couple or any woman want to go to a service provider who doesnt want to provide said service? Would you not seek out those who are good at it instead of the person who obviously isnt going to have their heart in it? Just seems like common sense to me.

I don't know where you got that idea. I believe that people who are marriage commissioners should do their job.

Just being obtuse now?

I'd never heard of this "conscience rights" crap until probably Wednesday. I didn't make it up, and we have a Wildrose mouthpiece in here defending it.

Neither had I but i certainly understand the principle behind it all. It protects everyones rights not just a group....that being said i will once again infer the amount of times this would actually become any sort of issue would be miniscule.

Why would you get a job as a civil servant if you didn't believe in what the government of alberta (or whatever laws - fed or prov or municipal) say you must do? Otherwise, how is the below not the outcome?

So you are saying that if a doctor is against abortions and refuses to perform them, he shouldnt be allowed to practice whatsoever?
Mind boggling.
Granted that commisionaires are a different subject that i addressed already.
