חלק מכתבה שהתפרסמה היום ב CBC: "Same-sex marriage counted for 1st time The census, for the first time, counted same-sex married couples, reflecting the legalization of same-sex marriage in Canada in 2005. Same-sex couples applauded the change. "It's absolutely significant," Gemma Schlamp-Hickey said from St. John's, Nfld., where she lives with her wife, Wendolyn Schlamp-Hickey. "Today I feel completely validated as a Canadian and as a family in Canada." The census recorded 45,345 same-sex couples in Canada, of whom 7,465 (16.5 per cent) were married. Half of all the same-sex couples live in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver. Same-sex couples make up 0.6 per cent of all couples in Canada, comparable to the ratio in Australia and New Zealand."
