Okay, I haven't found this anywhere else and don't intend to look anymore, so the story's from a gay news site.

Do these religious groups really have that big a stake in what happens in Canada? Is it appropriate, ethically, for them to support candidates in Canadian elections?

Of course it isn't ethically acceptable (you can imagine what they'd say if the reverse happened) but the US has been interfering in Canadian politics for a long time, so this is just a variation on the theme.

As for their stake, they'd probably argue that Canada is right next door, and if the rot sets in there ... soon them dope-smokin pansies'll be jest a-pourin cross that-there border ...
