OTTAWA, November 4, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Canadians would reject same-sex "marriage" if given the chance to vote for it, as voters in the US did Tuesday, Gwen Landolt, national vice president of REAL Women of Canada, said Wednesday.
"In many regards, we (Canadians) are no different," she said in comments to the Canadian Press. "We're just ordinary people and we're restricted in having a voice here. These referendums show that when you allow people to speak, it's just common sense: You want to have a man and a woman because children need a mother and father."
Voters in 11 US states voted overwhelmingly to discard same-sex "marriage" in initiatives included in Tuesday's US presidential election. In addition, nine states voted to make same-sex civil unions and any counterfeit of true marriage illegal.
"Why on earth can Canadians not have the same democratic right to express their opinion?" as Americans do, Landolt asked. "What we have in Canada is an elitist decision by a handful of judges who are appointed and not accountable."
"People are recognizing the value of family," Alberta Conservative MP Myron Thompson said, speaking about the US re-election of conservative, pro-family President George W. Bush. "Strong families make strong countries and that gives me some enthusiasm."
