As per the Same Sex Issue in all honesty I could care less for it, in regards to it being a civil matter for the courts.
I am however totally against it in regards to it on the grounds of Gurmat and would protest against it ever taking a place in a Gurdwara Sahib or have an Anand Karaj with to males or two females.
I can see where Nav's coming from with his statement on, protecting the charter of rights and freedoms for all, but like rk1 mentioned if this goes through it only paves the way for later civil suites against religious institutions (gurdhware, church's, etc), and although he has his point with it being a civil matter, the fact that such a vote will have later ramifications is something the Liberal Party needs to take into account and address.
As per Malhi, loosing his seat any time soon, I would disagree. Firstly Malhi's become more of a folk hero and his name has grown bigger then the man himself, in these parts (Toronto). His views on sikhi are pretty much those equivalent to the general punjabi community. Being Keshdari he undoublty knows a little more then the average punjabi on Sikhi, but this still does not prevent him from trimming his dhari and at times treating his dasataar like nothing more then a topee.
As per Nav's association with Dosanjh, that is nothing more then moving on up. To move up ranks within any party one needs to kiss some a--. Undoubtly Nav and him have there differences on different issues, such as Khalistan, but I think as two MP's on the same team, they need to work together and support eachother. After all what good is a Sikh MP, if he isn't higher up in power. I would love to see him progress to a Ministerial position where we can see him make some greater changes.
His greatest challange is convincing his riding and constituents to keep faith in him, especially with elections right around the corner, and being an MP with a riding with a majority made up of minorities (who are undoubtly against a SSM vote), I think that will be his biggest obstacle...
