Well I being socially liberal myself, I strongly disagree with you on this issue.
If immigrants have issues with Canada's social policies, then maybe they shouldn't move her. I don't want to sound mean and ignorant, and I am certainly not saying "let's refuse entrance to all immigrants", but this is what Canada is. We're socially liberal. For the most part have always been.
Gay "marriage" is not a problem for me. It's semantics really. You don't have to call it marriage if you don't want to. My biggest problem is people saying that homosexuals shouldn't be allowed to spend the rest of their lives with the partner they love and cherish and that they shouldn't get the same rights and freedoms as the heterosexual population of Canada.
Fine, don't call it marriage. I doubt that they would care, to to deny homosexuals the same rights that you or I have is down right wrong and I personally won't ever elect anyone who ever says that it is.

It just bothers me that we have danced more and more towards the left in these past few years, that's all. I am worried that soon, all provinces will adopt the law they have in Quebec where one cannot change their last name, meaning that a married woman will have no choice but to keep her maiden name, even if she hates it! (but that is a whole other topic, to be found in the relationships folder) Sometimes I think Canadians just need some good polish and a boost to the right of centre.
