PSA for Canadians *

[ciroccoj]

So, the same-sex marriage bill (C-38) is currently in the House. Since the current make-up of Parliament is

Liberal 133 (43.2%)
Conservative 99 (32.1%)
Bloc Quebecois 54 (17.5%)
NDP 19 (6.2%)
Independent 2 (0.6%)
Vacant 1 (0.3%)

if everybody votes along party lines, the bill will pass, because even though the Conservatives have vowed to fight it till the bitter end, the Bloc and the NDP have said they'll support it. However, many Liberals have stated that they will not support the bill.

If you want to let your MP know what you think, or find out what they think, you can find them here:

Members of the House of Commons. You can see all the MPs there - alphabetically, by riding, or by party. So you can find yours and e-mail them or call them.

If you don't actually remember your riding or MP's name, don't despair: you can find your Member of Parliament using your postal code.

Thanks for posting that. I saw a really cool diagram of it in the Globe a few days ago. How long will it take before they vote? I think I heard something about 5 or 6 months?

If I haven't said so before, thanks very much for posting this stuff. I am following along with great interest. :-)

Chris wasn't the only one. So what else does PSA stand for?
