government gives notice that sitting may be extended. ballsy move, mr. martin. i don't think i'd ever want to play poker against you.

i'd be all for discussing the bill more in the fall, if there were actually anything gained, if there were MPs who didn't know where they stand on the issue. but that's simply not so.

"It's not time to take a holiday when we're still working on generating equality that people have waited for so long to achieve," Mr. Layton said.

hear, hear. and while conservatives are warning us that somehow same-sex marriage will affect everyone's life negatively (an idea at which i scoff -- heterosexuals are solely to blame for the devaluation of marriage to the point where it stands right now), there is one way in which this bill affects everybody's life: it is all about equal treatment under the charter of rights.

Yahknow, I didn't like Martin much when he was elected. But he's gradually winning me over.

The man has more spine than I gave him credit for.
