This is just a back-handed tactic to appease the right-wingers. It will never stand up in court when it's challenged. If there is no residency requirement to get married then they cannot refuse a marriage license. If they refuse the license they are contravening the decision made by the Supreme Court some ten years ago. If they allow the marriage, they cannot refuse the divorce saying that the marriage didn't exist. This is right-wing politics Canadian-style. This decision will. not. stand.

Sue 's marriage is LEGAL!

Agree with you Suebee. One lawyer's opinion does not change the Supreme Courts ruling.

Our premier at the time was hell bent on not allowing gay marriage. But this is also the premier who got drunk around christmas time, went to a homeless shelter, threw around money and told "those lazy assholes to get a job". Oh the "good ol' boy" days.
