Now let's not get too excited about this yet. This is a conservative government. They can't really open up the debate on marriage equality again since it was a decision that went all the way to the Supreme Court that forced all the provinces to recognize the right of same-sex couples to marriage. This is just a back-handed tactic to appease the right-wingers. It will never stand up in court when it's challenged. If there is no residency requirement to get married then they cannot refuse a marriage license. If they refuse the license they are contravening the decision made by the Supreme Court some ten years ago. If they allow the marriage, they cannot refuse the divorce saying that the marriage didn't exist. This is right-wing politics Canadian-style. This decision will. not. stand.
Sue  's marriage is LEGAL!
