Harper's a leader on the world stage Published: Wednesday, October 04, 2006 And back at home he is the same redneck bible pounder he has always been. Always concerned with his Bigot Allies, never concerned with running the darned country. theglobeandmail.com Tories plan to protect same-sex opponents If government loses bid to reopen debate, Defence of Religions Act is next option By JOHN IBBITSON and BILL CURRY AND BRIAN LAGHI From Wednesday's Globe and Mail John Ibbitson: E-mail \| Read Bio \| Latest Columns OTTAWA — The Conservative government is planning measures, including a Defence of Religions Act, to allow public officials, such as Justices of the Peace, to refuse to perform same-sex marriages. The measures are also intended to protect the free-speech rights of religious leaders and others who criticize homosexual behaviour or refuse to do business with gay-rights organizations, The Globe and Mail has learned. Any legislation would be brought forward only if the government loses the motion this fall to reopen the debate on same-sex marriage. All indications are that the motion, which would authorize the government to introduce legislation to repeal the same-sex marriage law passed by Parliament last year, will be defeated by a combination of Opposition MPs supported by a few Conservatives.
