The official documents refer almost entirely to <I>Inuit</I>, although other sources use <I>Natives</I> and there are other racial, ethnic and cultural inhabitants. If this arises again, I am likely to use either of the two common terms.<BR/><BR/>Also, I did edit the typo to <I>Newfoundland</I>.massmarrierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02358207247771711952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703913.post-1119961857755512022005-06-28T08:30:00.000-04:002005-06-28T08:30:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.massmarrierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02358207247771711952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703913.post-1119960317920709262005-06-28T08:05:00.000-04:002005-06-28T08:05:00.000-04:00Thanks, that's good picking of nits.

Okay.<BR/><BR/>I had totally forgotten Nunavut. I see that Premier Paul Okalik said that if either the Parliament or the Supreme Court of Canada changed the definition of marriage, Nunavut would comply. Meanwhile, he added that Nunavut will recognize same-sex marriages conducted legally elsewhere.<BR/><BR/>Also, I see that the current form lists "BRIDEGROOM" and "BRIDE" name entries. It is a simple form and quick to change.<BR/><BR/>Finally, I see from numerous sources that both the Natives and the Anglicans there condemn homosexuality. The former reportedly consider it an artifact imported by the white culture. So, will it be a begrudging acceptance when C-38 becomes law?massmarrierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02358207247771711952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703913.post-1119945474605637332005-06-28T03:57:00.000-04:002005-06-28T03:57:00.000-04:00Actually there are 4 jurisdictions left: don't for...Actually there are 4 jurisdictions left: don't forget Canada's newest territory of <A HREF="http://www.gov.nu.ca/Nunavut/" REL="nofollow">Nunavut</A>, established in 1999.
