Let's be perfectly clear about what we're looking at here. This is not the end of something, but rather the beginning.
The ruling was made by the Ontario Superior Court. It can and almost certainly will go to the Ontario Court of Appeals, and from there I would anticipate it'll go to the Supreme Court of Canada.
And if the current rules get thrown out, the House will step in with some new ones. This is too big an issue for the government to just leave it hanging out there, especially when that government is Harper's Tories.
I fully support this ruling, but the fight's just started. Let's not all start celebrating prematurely.
