People elect representatives which vote on issues in the legislature. The legislature legalized gay marriage by a very large margin. One vote, Stronach's.

Even if this went to a ridiculous referendum, gay marriage support has been well in majority territory in Canada for many, many years. Even the Conservatives won't touch that issue with a ten-foot pole and support gay marriage now. I still believe the people should have their say, and that they should have had their say back in 2005. It strikes me as amusing that you're in favor of government intervention so long as it's to your benefit.

Last numbers I saw were 60-65% in favour of same-sex marriage in Canada. Well, then. Put it up for a vote, if you feel so confident. Province by province.
