say it ain't so!

I don't know where I've been, but apparently our neighbors to the North have somewhere along the way elected themselves a conservative, evangelical christian Prime Minister. Say *what*??? It's all in the "cover story" of the New York Times website -- conservative christians in Canada are galvanizing a movement to repeal the same-sex marriage laws that passed there in 2003, and this new Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, is going to put it to the Parliament to vote on whether they want to "reopen" the issue to debate.

Canada!!! What is wrong with you??? Our example wasn't horrifying enough, you had to go and elect your very own evangelical Christian leader??? And now you're letting the conservative chritians "galvanize" something?? Stop it! Stop it right now! As if the Beaver Fever in Vancouver wasn't bad enough...

....wait a minnit. Is this just a hoax to stop us nutty Americans from emmigrating up there in droves?? Are you pretending to suck just as bad as we do, just to stop us from trying to escape our problems by flooding your borders? Ok, ok. I get it. Nice one, Canada. You almost had me there for a second. Whew.
