Charles McVety, a spokesman for Defend Marriage Canada and president of Canada Christian College, said he was "very sad that the state has invaded the church, breached separation of church and state and redefined a religious word."
Yeah, they really invaded the church by specifically stating that religious institutions would never be forced to perform the ceremony. Riiiiight. :roll:

That's great. I wonder how many other countries are planning on doing this? They need to get on the ball here.

It should have happened right after rome fell.
or in the early days of the westward expansion.
Or during ww1.
Or ww2.

Canada legalizes gay marriage; Where Are The Doombringers?
FakeWire's exclusive interview with the Four Horsemen.

Friday, July 22, 2005; Posted: 12:00 a.m. EDT

Ascension Cafe, Infinity (FW) -- Canada legalized gay marriage Wednesday, becoming the world's fourth nation to grant full legal rights to same-sex couples.

This news has been cited as yet another sign of the fast coming apocalypse, but despite years of warnings, no apocalypse has yet arrived. By special request, the members of the Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse have taken time out of their busy schedules to talk with us.

"Well, it's how things go these days," Said War, bringer of destruction. "We've all got our own solo projects these days. I've got a big tour in the Middle East, Pestilence is doing this huge thing in Africa, and, well, we all know about Famine, don't we? We just aren't ready to get back to touring as a group. Creatively, I mean."

Signs of a breakup in the future? Not so, says Pestilence, who we caught up with near deepest Africa.

"No, no, man. You've got it all wrong. We're artists. We've had an awesome time together, you can never replace that, you can never get that from solo work. But, as individuals, we need to get out, stretch out wings."

"Besides," He added, "It's not like it's the end of the world. Get it?"

This isn't the first time the Horsemen have suffered from internal strife. During the End Of Rome tour, Pestilence reportedly locked himself in a public bath for three weeks over what was later called 'creative differences'. The group would ultimately get back together and go on to topple the greatest empire of all time.

Former member and professional sower of discord in reality, Kaos had the following to say on the subject. "I think it's really too early to count these boys out. I know alot of people were screaming how it was never gonna be the same after I left, but they went on to prove they can annihilate a civilization in style. I'm really proud of them all, and I hope to get together with them for the Aztec Reunion Tour."

Death, spokesbeing for the Horsemen, said in a press conference that they are planning something 'REALLY BIG' and 'IT'LL BLOW YOUR MINDS, TRUST ME' for the future, but details remain sketchy so far.

If I had my way, the NDP would cease to exist, but that's for another thread.

That is fucking hilarious! *saves and prints*
A Government founded upon justice, and recognizing the equal rights of all men; claiming higher authority for existence, or sanction for its laws, that nature, reason, and the regularly ascertained will of the people; steadily refusing to put its sword and purse in the service of any religious creed or family is a standing offense to most of the Governments of the world, and to some narrow and bigoted people among ourselves.
