Not that there’s anything wrong with that…

Gay marriages in Canada are problematic to foreigners, as when they try to divorce they run into a few snags. The first is if their home country doesn’t recognize the legality of same-sex marriage, they cannot divorce there. (Which begs the question – why divorce, if you are not married?)

Canada doesn’t allow divorces here to non-residents. Which makes sense.

But, to make the most of the controversy, why not add to the gay marriage law an addendum to allow gays to divorce here. We may have hit on a tourism stimulus. After the fighting is over, gays that have been married in Canada would need to return here to untie the knot.

Think of the possibilities.

Obese travelers to sue Air Canada over extra fees

OTTAWA — 2011 AFP - A judge has authorized a class action lawsuit against Air Canada on behalf of obese travelers forced to pay for an extra seat, a law firm announced Monday.

BGA Barristers & Solicitors LLP said in a statement the lawsuit aims to reclaim fees the airlines charged clinically obese passengers for a second seat before Canada’s transportation watchdog banned the practice in 2008.

A similar suit targeting its rival WestJet is also reportedly planned. So far no numbers of possible clients have been released, but according to court documents the suit could involve a multi-million dollar claim.
Following complaints, the Canadian Transportation Agency in 2008 ruled the two carriers had breached Canadian case law by charging obese and other disabled passengers accompanied by an attendant for two seats.

It cited a Federal Court of Appeal decision that found “a person who is obese may be (considered) disabled for purposes of air travel if unable to fit in an airline seat.”

The class action lawsuit covers fees paid to Air Canada between December 5, 2005 and December 5, 2008, as well as damages.

I was embarrassed, I was humiliated. I lied.

I really regret it.

But… I am not resigning.

True Democrat

Also admits there are x-rated pics of him out there. Admits that he sent more and to lots of women on Facebook… over the past 3 years.

Andrew Breitbart’s website BigGovernment.com claims that a new woman has come forward with photos, chats, and emails sent to her by the congressman that suggest the two were involved in “an online, consensual relationship involving the mutual exchange of intimate photographs.”

More here on the View, and the media’s handling of the story.

Here’s what he sent:

So we never forget… not only lied, but the arrogance of it shows through.

And in record time..

Couldn’t imagine what the “net” would have looked like if Bill and Monica had happened today.

Twitter real time results… changing the way we get news.

Maybe someone could tell the CBC about it.
