    OTTAWA, Ontario (Reuters) -- "Canada's Parliament was set Tuesday to approve legislation that will allow same-sex marriages across the country, despite fierce opposition from conservative legislators and religious groups... Prime Minister Paul Martin has ordered his Cabinet to vote for the legislation, but around 35 Liberal legislators will oppose the bill."

    Chips and gravy man, they're an institution. You've never had chips and gravy?

    Get your laughing gear round that little lot after a couple of tubs of Della and you'll be right as rain.

    Gravy on chips makes them soggy.

    That's why we put gravy on fries instead.

    You know, I'm normally perfectly okay with, no, celebrate the differences between American and British English. But the British are completely wrong with the fries/chips thing.

    Potato chips (or what the Brits call "crisps") are called so because they're chip-shaped. French fries look nothing like poker chips, paint chips or CHiPs. Of course, "french fries" is a misnomer as well but at least they're fried and of francophone origin.

    Poutine is a french canadian delight and does not do particularly well outside of Quebec and francophone parts of Ontario.

    In the coming full circle category, the clown who leads the canadian conservative party was ranting yesterday to the effect that the gay marriage legislation is designed to appease the seperatist Bloc Quebecois and that most "federalist" MPS were against it. This explains in part why, despite the current minority governement being involved in one of - if not the - largest corruption scandals in Canadian history, the Conservative party is actually losing public support in the polls.


    Poutine = Quebec = Seperatists = Gay Marriage. Or, more simply, Poutine = Gay Marriage.

    Close but wrong. Once the USA reaches intellectual maturity it may be considered as the 11th province.
    That hasn’t happened in 200 years and another 200 years probably won’t be enough. :D

    The day America reaches intellectual maturity is the day Canadians stop invading South Florida during the winter. :p

    5-10 years from now a couple dozen more countries will have been added to that list, including the US of A. Better move to Saudi Arabia while you still have the chance.

    What a pity those who call themselves Catholic aren't catholic :confused:

    cath·o·lic (kăth'ə-lĭk, kăth'lĭk) adj.
    Of broad or liberal scope; comprehensive: “The 100-odd pages of formulas and constants are surely the most catholic to be found” (Scientific American).

    Including or concerning all humankind; universal: “what was of catholic rather than national interest” (J.A. Froude).
