Ralph Klein is an Embarassment
Well, as I sit here in front of my computer, after reading that Newfoundland has just become the seventh (and not the last) province to legislate same-sex marriages. For thos of you unaware, the Supreme Court has just established that any law that differentiates the rights based on the gender of someones partner, INCLUDING the right to marry, are discriminatory under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
So, immediately following that, recently re-elected Alberta Premier Ralph Klein goes public with for for "traditional definitions" of marriage, being suppored by the usual right wing fanatical dip-shits.
The problem is, he says he is speaking for all Alberta, yet I know that many, many people to not share this view. I find it embrassing that our this man is doing nothing but reinforcing just how damned redneck this province can be, and I am really tired of it. Even some people who voted conservative are trying to figure out what he's doing.
Anyway, this is just a rant. I really needed to get this off my chest and maybe, if I'm really lucky, let people know that not everyone in Alberta is a gay-bashing, rodeo-loving, gun-toting, cowboy hat-wearing redneck.
Anyone else have opinions on this, Alberta or not?
Peace,
Really, peace,
Pierre
