Again, that's how I recollect and could be wrong.
Regardless, there was no back peddling or anything it's just one of those topics that becomes so much more than what we're actually hearing. Becomes a "omg such and such party isn't allowing lgtb clubs" because that makes a great sound clip.

What do you mean, "federally"? Education is a provincial responsibility, every province has their own Education Act (Public Schools Act, etc). Do you mean that the federal Charter of Rights overrides the provincial Acts?
As for the original post - yay Nenshi.
