This article from CBC News proves that hypocrites are not just confined to the US, and the Conservative political world itself. Especially where it concerns civil rights for the gay and lesbian communities.

Conservative Leader Stephen Harper says the government's same-sex legislation will make it through the House of Commons only because of support from the Bloc Quebcois, and that, says Harper, means the legislation "lacks legitimacy."

"I think because this bill is only being passed with the support of the BQ, I think it will lack legitimacy with most Canadians. The truth is most federalist MPs will oppose this legislation."

More below the fold.

Prime Minister Paul Martin has officially started the debate on same-sex unions at the Federal level.

OTTAWA - Prime Minister Paul Martin kicked off the parliamentary debate on his government's controversial same-sex marriage legislation Wednesday, saying the debate would be "about the kind of nation we are today and the nation we want to be."

As many of you already know, same-sex marriage has already been agreed to in most provinces and backed up by each Provincial Supreme Court.

The Prime Minister has already approached the Supreme Court of Canada, and it has agreed the law would be constitutional. What he is doing now is submitting the proposed law to Parliament to vote on.

Please recommend this so we can bring these guys to their knees.

Bill O'Reilly and Hannit have a poll up and O"Rielly says he'll read the results on air tonight. Jump on it! We've been kicking ass in the online polls all year. And wouldn't it be great to hear O'Reilly dub Kerry the winner in an online poll from his own website and then have to explain it away. Plus it would put a glimmer of dismay into the hearts of Bush supporters and maybe keep a few of them away from the polls on Tuesday.

This makes me feel extremely confident that Florida will go to Kerry despite any interference from Jeb the Lapdog brother.

The campaign Friday announced a television ad - "Orlando" - to begin airing in Florida today. The ad spotlights the Orlando Sentinel's endorsement of John Kerry for president, the newspaper's first endorsement of a Democratic presidential candidate in 40 years.

With its historic endorsement, the Sentinel echoed the sentiment of an overwhelming number of Florida's major daily newspapers. In addition to the Sentinel, John Kerry has been endorsed by the Miami Herald, St. Petersburg Times, Palm Beach Post, South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Gainesville Sun, Daytona Beach News-Journal, Florida Today, and the Bradenton Herald, which endorsed Bush in 2000. The Tampa Tribune, which has not endorsed a Democrat for President since 1952, last week declined to endorse Bush.

Sen. Joseph Biden (D-DE) "has been asked by" Sen. John Kerry "to become Secretary of State in a Democratic administration," the Times of London reports.

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,3-1334724,00.html

Senator Joseph Biden of Delaware has been asked by Mr Kerry to become Secretary of State in a Democratic administration, according to Kerry campaign aides. Mr Biden, the leading Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for the past four years, ran for President in 1988. His campaign ended abruptly when it was revealed that a key element of his stump speech had been lifted directly from Mr Kinnock's general election speeches in 1987.

But Mr Biden has since emerged as a leading foreign policy figure in the Democratic party and is expected to take the job offered by Mr Kerry unless political factors intervene. Were the Democrats to retake control of the Senate, he might prefer to remain as a lawmaker, but those who know him think that unlikely.

Teacher arrested as terror suspect.
Omnibus News Service

A public school teacher was arrested today at John F. Kennedy International Airport as he attempted to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a set square, a slide rule and a calculator.

At a morning press conference, Attorney General John Ashcroft said he believes the man is a member of the notorious Al-gebra movement. He did not identify the man, who has been charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of math instruction.

"Al-gebra is a fearsome cult," Ashcroft said. "They desire average solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in a search of absolute value." Read More
