In an effort to stall the passage of legislation that would end discrimination against same-sex couples in the state regulation of relationships in Canada, the federal Conservative Party has offered to ease up on opposition to the budget -- called by a number of knowledgeable commentators the most progressive budget in 30 years, because the Liberals have had to ally themselves with the left in order to pass it -- if the government agrees to put the equal marriage legislation off to the autumn session of Parliament, according to this story on 365Gay.com. The Conservatives believe this would increase the chances of the minority Liberal government being brought down before the legislation could be passed.
