Canada's two major parties are facing internal conflicts over their respective stands on same-sex marriage.

Tempers flared Wednesday in a closed-door meeting of the Liberal caucus as Prime Minister Paul Martin pleaded with his troops to keep the debate civil.

Over at the opposition Conservative Party, three more members have broken ranks with their leader and say they'll vote for the Liberal government's marriage bill.

1. It's going to be a squeaker...

...that's for sure. I do not think it's right for the Liberal party whip to be telling those opposed to the legislation to take a walk that day.

Make sure you write your MP's in support of Bill C-38.
