It's nice to see that those of us on the right are starting to gain a voice...

TORONTO - Christians, Muslims and Jews shared a stage at Queen's Park yesterday as thousands rallied to support defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman.
They came to downtown Toronto, not far from the city's gay village, to fight the Liberals' Bill C-38, which would legalize same-sex marriage across the country.
Speaker after speaker vowed to stop the legislation or, if it passes, to target MPs to ensure the next federal government is "pro-marriage."
"There is no such thing as a right to same-sex marriage," said Maurice Vellacott, the Tory MP for Saskatoon-Wanukewin. He compared gays pushing for the right to marry with someone playing a game on ice without a hockey stick and demanding it be called hockey.
Wow, didn't see the story on CBC NewsWorld. The story IS on CTV's NewsNet but it's somewhere below a story about "Red Delicious Apples". Didn't see it on Globel. Nothing to be found on the Globe and Mail website. Lets see what the Toronto Star has to offer: Nope, nothing there either...
Well, isin't that special! A protest consisting of thousands of people gets covered by only 2 major media outlets whereas a SNC anti-war protest earlier this month containing literally dozens of activists, gets coverage with every major news outlet. Welcome to Cannuckistan!
