I'm sure you've all heard, but I thought I'd say it one more time: my country is the best country in the whole fucking world.

Across the board legalization of gay marriage.  158 to 133 in the House of Commons.  If the senate fails to ratify the bill, it'll be the first bill in a hundred years they've failed to do, so that's extremely unlikely.

Jesus would be proud.

ETA: The places that beat us are the Netherlands (Amsterdam clearly rules) and Belgium (which has chocolate in abundance). Their total combined population is just under 27 million people. Canada's is just under 33 million. One step at a time.

ETA II: This Canada Day party, far as I'm concerned? Is a GREAT cause for celebration.

That's it, I'm movin'. I wanna live where people are all tolerant of others and stuff. It's a toss up Amsterdam 'cuz of the ruley-ness, Belguim, because as Xander once said, "Why wouldn't you?" or Canada 'cuz y'all got those cute accents.

Canada's closer.

Dude, don't move here yet. Give it a few years to let the lunatics (http://www.cbc.ca/story/canada/national/2005/01/16/calgary-bishop050116.html) settle out.
