Only in the world of left wing politics is a course change by the NDP or Liberals worthy of unquestioned praise, while a change by the Conservatives should only be met with cynicism.
The Liberals under Chretien voted more than once to support the "traditional definition of marriage" too. They ultimately changed course as well, despite the obviously held beliefs of many of their MPs at the time (given the vote). Should that have been viewed as cynically as you view this?
