Canadian Same-Sex Marriage Bill C-38 Passes Second Reading 168-138

Mo Liberal Canada coming your way!  Vote liberal!

OTTAWA May 4, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Canada’s parliament early this evening gave approval in principal to the Liberal governement’s same-sex marriage Bill C-38. The Bill passed second reading by a vote of 163-138. The bill now automatically goes to a special committee for review. The committee, stacked by a majority of same-sex ‘marriage’ supportive MPs is expected to significantly limit public submissions and attempt to conclude its proceedings as quickly as possible to allow the bill to receive its third and final reading vote at an early date.

Today’s vote will undoubtedly be used by opponents of the bill as clear evidence of which MPs they must target for defeat in the upcoming federal election. There is likely to be a greater than usual degree of cooperation among many religious and social conservative organizations and individuals across the nation to ensure the defeat as many MPs as possible who voted for C-38.

It remains to be seen however whether Canada’s religious leaders will finally co-operate with this task to the degree that they are needed. In general, the church leaders have tended to avoid anything that might be seen as political activity, including simply allowing summaries of the positions of the candidates on life and family issues to be distributed to their congregations. As a consequence, so far, Canadian social liberal activists have had almost a free hand for decades to radically change the Canadian social order to their liking. The newest factor, however, is that the very freedoms, if not existence of the churches is now threatened by the latest legislative intiatives such as C-38 and the passed new hate crimes changes, that will undoubtedly lead to hate crimes charges once Bill -C-38 is passed, unless an election occurs in the meantime.
