The Canadian Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that a proposal to legalize same-sex marriage would be constitutional, reports the Washington Post.

The ruling was made on the basis that the traditional definition of marriage as between a woman and man is discriminatory. Although the Supreme Court didn't declare that the traditional definition is illegal, they ruled that the Canadian government has the authority to extend marriage rights to same-sex couples.

Many lower court rulings in various provinces have already upheld same-sex marriage, leading to thousands of marriages across the country. Many couples from the U.S. have crossed the border to marry, considering the eleven states that have already banned same-sex marriage and Bush's intent to create a constitutional law preventing it from being pushed by "activist judges" and the "far-left minority." I really do hate that man.

Prime Minister Paul Martin of the Liberal Party announced on Thursday that he would introduce the legislation early next year.

We'll keep our fingers crossed over here in the Bush country. Sigh.
