Alberta Premier will Allow Public to be Heard on Gay “Marriage”

CALGARY, November 10, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Alberta premier Ralph Klein, campaigning for re-election to a fourth term in office, said he wants to know how Albertans feel about same-sex “marriage.”“We’ve invited the public, and I’ll do that right now, to send their comments on same-sex marriage,” Klein said Tuesday. “What we’ve heard from the public thus far and what I’m hearing in the streets is that they don’t want it in this province,” Klein said, as reported by CTV News.  The legalization of same-sex “marriage”—currently an issue being decided on by the Supreme Court—has already passed in seven provinces, including Saskatchewan, the last Canadian territory to legalize same-sex “marriage” last week.  But during a televised leaders election debate Monday, Klein said, “The caucus decision on this is really quite clear. We will fight, I guess, and use whatever legal means are at our disposal to make sure the solemnization of marriage remains between a man and a woman.”  Besides Saskatchewan, British Columbia, Yukon, Ontario, Quebec, and Nova Scotia activist judges have already given homosexuals the green light to “marry.”  In the past, Klein said he would not hesitate to use the Notwithstanding Clause of the Constitution to prevent Albertans from being subjected to same-sex “marriage.”  Tv
