So it appears that you have turned out to be a cowardly rat-bastard. Your recent ammendment to the same-sex marriage question before the supreme court is the worst sort of delay tactic, while throwing a bone to the socially conservative individuals in this country, a group I never expected the Liberal Party of Canada to pander to. Fuck you, Paul. It’s ok for you to be a greedy, tax-evading, asshole, but god forbid I should want to get married. God forbid I should want, nay, expect, my country to respect the relationship I have with my girlfriend and legally (and secularily) recognize it.

I never understood the right wing arguments, most of which consisted of “No right to gay marriage, because what about my rights?” Well, what about them?! They will still be there. Allowing gay people to marry will not suddenly prevent them from getting married, and it’s been clearly stated that no church will be forced to perform same sex marriages. And hey! Guess what Paul? As a country, Canada is secular. It generally agrees in a separation of church and state. Maybe the bible does say gay people are evil scum, but you know what? That shouldn’t matter. People’s religious beliefs should have no place deciding law in this country. I believe in an absolute of right and wrong Paul, and what you are doing is absolutely wrong.

You know that the Supreme Court will decide in favour of same sex marriages. You just don’t want to have to take a stand on the issue one way or the other, that way you get to play both sides of the issue, hoping that both sides will vote for you. Well your silence and hypocrisy do not do you any favours Paul. Indeed, they paint a loud and clear picture of the type of man we have leading our country. A man who has no integrity, and does not care about the fundamental freedoms Canada has previously stood for. A man who wants only votes and lots of money.

Never in my life have I been so deeply ashamed of, and angry at, the government that was running my country. Thanks for the new experience.

No love,
me
