Too Much Liberalization? In Canada?

This makes me laugh.
Women's rights activists are to march in 11 cities in Canada and Europe against plans to allow Sharia law tribunals in the province of Ontario.

Islamic law could be used to settle civil and marital disputes under a proposal made by former Ontario Attorney General Marion Boyd.

Roman Catholic and Jewish arbitration tribunals already operate in Ontario.

Opponents of Sharia law say allowing Islamic tribunals could lead to discrimination against women.
This is gay-marriage-allowing, draft-dodger-hiding, let-everyone-do-thier-thing Canada! It's nice to know they have limits, but what a very interesting and unusual place to draw the line.

What I really want to know is what happens when one of the gay marriages comes before one of those Roman Catholic tribunals?
