Same-sex ruling challenged: Ottawa's decision to appeal a controversial court ruling that clears the way for same-sex marriage was jeered Monday by gay and lesbian groups and an opposition MP. Justice Minister Martin Cauchon said that until society agrees on the definition of marriage, his department must challenge an Ontario court ruling.

Well, I can't say as that's surprising. Mildly saddening, but not at all surprising. (Since it was a provincial court, ruling only on what happened in Ontario and not in all of Canada, I'm somewhat confused as to how a British Columbia ruling has anything to do with Ontario, but .... whatever.)
