If Conservative Leader Stephen Harper wins the federal election, it could mean wedding bells sooner rather than later for Ontario Health Minister George Smitherman.

Smitherman, who is gay, said Wednesday he and his partner Christopher Peloso have talked about moving up their wedding date if the Conservatives are victorious next Monday.

"I'm one of those Canadians that does feel a little bit at the risk of having rights that I currently possess taken away," Smitherman said before a cabinet meeting.

"I never thought that would happen in my country."

2. I know

I don't think that a minority Tory government would do that much

I'd hope that the Liberals would get their act together and work with the NDP and the other parties to block the Tories
