2005: Canada approved same sex marriage

Back in 2005, Canada became the first country in our side of the world to legalize same sex marriage. Based on my reading of Canadian public opinion, same sex marriage is very popular in Quebec, tolerated in Ontario and very unpopular in the Western provinces. In hockey, that would be 1-1-1, or 3 points.

Until recently, Canada and the US were a couple of very conservative and religious countries.    Not so much anymore, as the "same sex marriage" and abortion decisions suggest.
