A proposed Tory bill that would provide protection to officials and churches who refuse to perform same-sex marriages underlines a growing conflict between gay rights and religious freedom.
Across the country there are a number of cases in which religious views critical of homosexuality are clashing with the human rights demands of gays and lesbians.
In Manitoba, marriage commissioners who didn't want to marry same-sex couples because of their faith have been forced to resign, and a Catholic men's group came under fire for refusing to rent its hall to lesbians for their wedding.
In Ontario, a printer ran into trouble when he refused to print pro-gay brochures.
This is just "speculation" for now, though.
Oh, and, read this bizarre defense of Foley.
