Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was going to say she must have given it the OK, but NO!

Supreme Court of Canada Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin gave the Queen's consent to the bill on behalf of Gov. Gen. Adrienne Clarkson, who is off-duty recovering from surgery.

It's third-hand royal assent!

Well it was voted on by the two houses of Parliament. And really, the House of Commons vote a few weeks ago is really the main act to make it into law. The Senate can amend, but not vote down a law (they are a "sober second look") and royal assent is really a rubber stamp. (The Senate is mostly a rubber stamp too.)

Right on, Canada!

I foresee a future where the precarious competitive balance between Canadian and American male figure skaters tips decidely in favor of the Canuckistanians.

Kat, I think you and Lori should go on a marraige tour. Massachusetts, Montreal, and then just travel through states as they come to their senses, collecting certificates.

And then we can have cake!
