"Traditional family values are under attack" was the one line that really stood out from that Guardian article. Since when are homosexual couples devoid of values? It just makes me sick but glad to be Canadian.

"We have to prevent liberal libarians and trendy teachers from "re-engineering society's fabric in the minds of our children"" Didn't Hitler say similar things? What's next? Book burning and angry marches to the capital from local taverns?; 10:12 PM
