Given "that the vast majority of our citizens (70 per cent, according to a 2015 Forum Research poll) support same-sex marriage" nobody has any need to fear how Brad Trost feels in this regard, but we should be very happy he let us know, full disclosure, if you will.  Good to know this up-front.

Which means, as far as a campaign position goes, Mr. Trost is suffering from foot-in-mouth and quite possibly, gunshot-to-foot.  Ahh, well.
