A a problem -- a legal technicality -- regarding the validity of Canadian same sex marriages was recently discovered.
So what did Canada's "Conservative" government do. The Justice Minister affirmed the legality of the marriages.
The confusion and pain resulting from this gap is completely unfair to those who are affected, (Justice Minister) Nicholson said. I want to make it clear that, in the governments view, those marriages are legal.
Can you imagine any American conservative (let alone the entire government) jumping to the defense of gay couples?
Just an example of how far opinion in the rest of the world has diverged from that in America.
