Let them eat tax breaks

Canadian provinces get to keep their gay marriage.

Cleared in the courts, Paul Martin is expected to introduce legislation to allow same sex marriage nationwide, which would bring more parity to same-sex couples in the provinces of Alberta, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labrador as well as Northwest and Nunavut Territories.

Prohibiting same-sex marriage has already been declared unconstitutional in Ontario, BC, Quebec, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, Saskatchewan and the Yukon Territory.

Alberta's Justice Minister, without saying how, has vowed to fight nationwide legislation. Good effort, but people seem to agree it's a losing battle.

Elsewhere, the Edmonton Sun was quick to declare: Albertains not the most intolerant.
