When governments allow a handful of unelected judges to change the law, justice and democracy are not well served. The voters of Ontario do not want the legal definition of spouse changed, as evidenced by their overwhelming rejection of Bill 167 under the former NDP government, several years ago. The union of man and woman is the only natural arrangement that has the ability to procreate, and sustain society. The founders of our country realized long ago that traditional families are the cornerstone of a strong and vibrant society, and as such, deserve special recognition and support under the law.
