UK civil union is not marriage: feds

I have a new story on the main page of Xtra.ca today which looks at a particular international same-sex divorce case which the federal government is taking an interest in. It was fairly intriguing to learn about the particular differences, and it benefitted from an update on the day it was posted (I filed yesterday) with Nicholson's answer in QP today, but it's going to be something to keep an eye on.

I had also been curious about whether this may have an impact on the current UK campaign to have their civil partnerships be given full equal marriage status, but since the line of questioning was pretty much universally that it shouldn't be a factor, and given space considerations, it never made it into the final copy.
