Excerpt from todays Calgary Herald:

The government may scrap the Alberta Marriage Act and simply recognize "civil unions", said Justice minister Ron Stevens. That would force couples - heterosexual and gay - to go to churches and other religious institutions if they want their relationship recognized as marriage.

Other Tory MLA want to take their fight a step further and seek a constitutional amendment to kill the same sex legislation.

Note: In Canada, the Federal government controls the act of marriage, however each province controls how people get married; the administrative part.
