tripathyAlberta: Truly Canada's Texas.
This is just bloody embarrassing. The fact that it's buried in a bill that extends rights to homosexuals is sickening. These assholes can't allow progress in one part of life without taking something away from another. And if they achieve this first step backwards, what next?
Note in the video that the kids are open-minded, but the old fogies are gonna put a stop to that, gosh darn it! We can't have kids believing different things from their parents, now, can we? Learning is bad.
I think we need to transplant that province down into the American south where it apparently belongs. Aren't there a couple of blue states down there who could benefit greatly from being up here in Alberta's place?

Date: 2009-05-02 08:55 pm (UTC)Oh! A quick question? Would it be conceivable for a McGill student in 1987 to claim that he's a third cousin twice removed on his mother's side (in other words, a tenuous connection at best) to someone like Claude Lemieux or Guy Carbonneau? And he really is from Buckingham or Sept-Iles?

So sure, go right ahead!
