c9 | Go Andy Scott!

Canadians for Equal Marriage, the newish lobby group for equal marriage rights in Canada, has started a new campaign which lists specific candidates to support or defeat in the upcoming federal election. There's only three people so far, but they are planning to add more MPs as they continue their research.

Andy Scott, Liberal MP in Fredericton, and (straight) victim of gay-related-issues bashing, is on the good list! Fun.

Why should you care?

I'm gay, and getting married. leapfish and I have to travel to do it legally. Maybe you don't want to get married, but everybody should get to make the choice themselves, instead of having the government decide for you.
Conservative groups like Focus on the Family are going to spend millions of dollars on this one issue, trying to prevent equality from gaining ground in Canada.
