“Let me be very, very clear. The fact is that same-sex marriage and a woman’s right to an abortion are the kind of Canadian values that built this country. They are the values of my father and great Canadians like Tommy Douglas and I will not be the Prime Minister who goes down in history as having taken them away. The fact is that they are fundamentally more important than the preservation of Canada’s single-tier public health care system.”
The above quote has popped up on various sites, which initially lead me to assume it was real. I traced it today to small dead animals.

While it was based on an actual comment by Paul Martin, Kate McMillan has confirmed that this was a satirical take on the referenced newspaper article she references on her post. It is unfortunate that this satirical paraphrase has become detached from the newspaper article that inspired it. You can go to her site to view the article.
The key to recognizing it is not a real quote is Mr. Martin talking about "a woman's right to an abortion". We all know he would never do that, unless he was under an awful lot of stress, which is what I assumed. We all know the deflective, deceptive language used by liberals to promote their causes; it's "a woman's right to choose", with the unhappy bits about dismemberment and loss of human life cheerily ignored.
The quote is almost "too good", because one can imagine Martin saying it, in the same way he said the soldiers' ad "did not appear", and "was not about soldiers". Once you pass into the realm of the delusionary, all bets are off.
Nevertheless, I apologize for initially posting this as genuine. Truth is important. I'll be more careful in future.

The Liberals are responsible for maintaining such an exceptionally low age of consent that it is almost impossible to get convictions for child prostitution.
They are obscene.
It now appears that Liberal support comes from prisoners, abortionists, pimps, and polygamists.
Is this a direct quote? Do you have a link?

Notice weasel words: "At this point"
Liberal Justice Minister Irwin Cotler said he has seen only a summary of the research reports, but already rejects lifting the criminal ban on polygamy.
“At this point, the practice of polygamy, bigamy and incest are criminal offences in Canada and will continue to be,” he said from Montreal.

I don't have the voting numbers for the debate but the Liberals, NDP, and BLOC voted to maintain the age of consent at 14.
I suspect some would have wanted it lower. Irwin Cotler said young people would be thrown in jail for kissing. (Again I can't find the reference.)
Here's a reference to the age of swingers:

"Swingers' clubs are places where people pay to have group sex and exchange bodily fluids with strangers as young as 14."
Here is another site to check for votes on marriage and age of consent.
