CANADA is set to begin moves to legalise gay marriage next year.
The move follows a ruling by the country’s supreme court allowing the redefinition of marriage as "the lawful union of two persons".
Prime Minister Paul Martin said his Liberal government would bring in gay marriage legislation in the new year.
Lower court decisions have legalised gay marriage in six of the ten provinces and in one of the three territories, and Mr Martin said this patchwork could not be allowed to continue.
"The government believes that uniformity is absolutely essential, since we don’t want the Balkanisation of marriage in this country," he said.
"I do not believe you can have two classes of citizens."
So... they also allow medical marijuana, have national health care, have almost no crime, and run a budget surplus every year.
Remind me again why we make fun of them.
