I have a concern.

I support same-sex marriage. We currently have a minority government which is going to put forward same-sex marriage legislation next week, with admittedly shaky support from its own MP's.. Hell, even Martin's own Caucas.

If the Conservatives can maintain solidarity and all vote against this (perhaps recruiting the bloc?) Especially if it is put forward as a free vote... With many Liberal MP's openly voicing their disapproval on the subject, the Government might be forced to call an election if the Libs lose.

This is a decidedly Canadian issue, so I put it in the appropriate forum.

What do you all think?

I personally think we're going to see an election very soon.
