Canada's highest court rules same sex marriages okay.

Yet another reason to move to Canada.

Canada's highest court said Thursday the government can redefine marriage to include same-sex couples, but it added that religious officials can't be forced to perform unions against their beliefs.

The ruling by the court in Ottawa brings to the final stages a long, bitter fight over whether gays and lesbians should be allowed to marry in Canada.
