HuffPo:

So basically, a judge threw into doubt the legality of gay people getting married in Canada, and Harper did nothing to counter that move, thus implicitly supporting its effect. Is that about it?

NO NO NO. The law is PRO SSM and Harper is doing nothing to change that. You have it backwards.

That case you are talking about is a couple who got married in Canada, but was from a state in the USA that didn’t recognise their marriage. The discussion was that they didn’t have to get legally divorced in their state because they were never recognized as married in their state. Well, DUH!

Harper is saying that he NOT going to change the law in Canada. It is PRO SSM now, and he is saying he will do nothing to change it.
