re: #383 Buck

They DON’T have to file for divorce. Anyway, this was an opinion about a couple who never lived in Canada. The question was if the Canadian Judge had the authority to grant a divorce for someone who didn’t live in the jurisdiction. How could the Canadian judge enforce the decree in Florida? Where the marriage is not recognized, and therefore the divorce would also not be recognized. If they lived in Canada their marriage would be recognized by Canada.

SSM is legal in Canada. And became legal under a Conservative government.

Wow, you’ve motorized the goalposts. How convenient.

Also, you’re wrong, wrong, wrong about SSM becoming legal under a Conservative government. Re Same-Sex Marriage was requested by and handed down during Martin’s Liberal government and it was his government that passed the Civil Marriage Act. After Harper took over in 2006, his government held a vote on finding a way to reverse SSM (Which wouldn’t have done anything since he’d have had to have used the notwithstanding clause to have any such bill stick). You’re the Canadian, I’m the American, you might want to do a better job following the politics of your own country.
