Newly Green Harper OK's Foreign Gay Marriages

Without any announcement, Harper's Conservatives have dropped an anti-gay policy. When same-sex marriage was made legal in Canada in 2005, there was an exisitng 2004 ban on recognising foreign gay marriages for immigration purposes. Now same sex couples married outside Canada will be fully recognised as spouses when they apply to immigrate to Canada.
Interesting how quickly Harper has changed with a threatened election looming!
