a further irony was when he was talking about moving to canada.

canadian society is far more secular, they have single-payer socialized health care, gay marriage and anti-discrimination laws, easy access to abortion and there are even hate speech laws (just like in most civilized western industrialized countries).

in reality that would be a nightmare for a right wing religious nut case like grandich.

many canadians are surprised to learn that because of folks like grandich, in 29 states american lgbts can still be fired and denied housing because of their sexual orientation. in a recent case where same-sex marriage just became legal a man married his long-time partner and was promptly (and legally) fired the next week.

and in an increasing number of states, low-income women are finding it's almost impossible to find a clinic that will perform an abortion.
