> [@Frodo](#): > > We’ll acuse you of not doing your job, and hopefully fire you inmediately. They’re trying to allow civil marriage officiants (i.e. not ministers of religion, who can already refuse to marry whomever they [don’t] want) to refuse to marry same-sex couples in Saskatchewan, which will make for an interesting Charter challenge if it passes. ---

You know, I got the stupidest thought: the reason we can convince people to make Marijuana legal is that it can raise revenue. What if the government went into the wedding planning business? And, go Argentina. Apparently mine is not the only mind that has been changed on the subject. ---

> [@BigT](#): > > What if the government went into the wedding planning business? There’s also the reverse argument: until we get same-sex marriage in the US, the wedding planners should all go on strike. “If I can’t get married, YOU CAN’T GET MARRIED!” ---
