Nightingale 0 #4 July 21, 2005 It's nice to see a country taking steps to reduce restrictions on the personal lives of its citizens. I hope the USA will do the same, and I am writing to my government representatives to make my position known. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

narcimund 0 #6 July 21, 2005 QuoteActually, I think we're still waiting for Betty to sign off on it... Should be a formailty. My understanding is the Gov. General signs FOR Betty. Unfortunately Ms. Clarkson is on sick leave so the Chief Justice stood in for the sovereign. I assume from the reporting that has the same power under the circumstances. Quote The law came into power on Wednesday when a Supreme Court judge approved it. That job would normally be done by Governor General Adrienne Clarkson, who represents Queen Elizabeth, Canada's head of state. But Clarkson is recovering after having had a pacemaker fitted earlier this month. First Class Citizen Twice Over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

britboynz 0 #12 August 1, 2005 Firstly, thats awesome news. Kudos to the Canadian Parliament. QuoteSo are you going to pack up and move north? Apologies for slight hijack, but how does this work? Is there a law/agreement that lets US/Canadian citizens live in each others countries? (like the agreement between Australia & NZ) or would a US citizen still need to apply for Permanent Residence in order to live in Canada? Just curious. I can see myself living in Canada, but Definitely not the States. Might be useful info one day Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Remster 30 #13 August 1, 2005 You dont need to be a resident to get a marriage. But you do to get a divorce. So that may make things complicated if "forever" lasts as long in gay couples as it does many straight ones! lolRemster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
