CBC News: Same-sex legislation passed

CBC News: Same-sex legislation passed

Oh, Canada:

Supported by most members of the Liberals, the Bloc Quebecois and the NDP, the legislation passed easily, making Canada only the third country in the world, after the Netherlands and Belgium, to officially recognize same-sex unions.

The "vote is about the Charter of Rights," said Prime Minister Martin. "We're a nation of minorities and in a nation of minorities you don't cherry-pick rights."
