Oh Canada!
A court in New Brunswick has ordered that the provincial definition of marriage be changed from "a man and a woman" to "two persons". The premier of that province says that he believes the old definition is the proper definition, but he also said that the province would not put up a fight if a court ordered the change.
That's the rule of law for you. In the United States the bigots would be screaming to modify the provincial constitution to discriminate against gays.
After New Brunswick has rewritten their laws, only 4 territories and provinces will discriminate against gay people, so if you're lucky enough to be a Canadian and don't live in PEI, Alberta, Nunavut, or the Northwest Territories, you will be able to marry your boyfriend or girlfriend without having to fight with the state over legal recognition of your union.
Anyone up there looking to hire a migrant Linux programmer who writes OS distributions for fun?
