( CBC North ) - Several Nunavut MLAs are calling on the territorial government to denounce same-sex marriages. They say most people in the territory are opposed to same-sex unions and they want the government to publicly voice its opposition to Ottawa.

Given that the Territory of Nunavut has the highest suicide rate in Canada, high rates of alcoholism, a serious lack of affordable housing, rampent unemployment, and an inadaquate health care system one would think this government could direct its attention in far more productive ways than worrying about whether or not both people standing at the alter or in front of the judge shaved their beards that morning our not.
