First cousin marriage is legal in Canada. That is the thing nobody looks up because they assume the answer. Florida just tried to make it illegal and failed. Which puts the Sunshine State and this country in more or less the same position, neither of them having fixed it.

What does it feel like to find out a law you assumed existed simply doesn’t? Not dramatically. Just quietly, nobody got around to it. Florida’s bill failed to pass. Canada never introduced one. Albert Einstein married his cousin. So did Franklin Roosevelt. A woman from Punta Gorda pointed out it makes for a nice small wedding party, which is, honestly, economical.

Meanwhile Cardi B is furious at Hamilton, Ontario. Her show there was the only date on her tour that didn’t sell out. Ninety-eight percent sold. Tickets starting at $118. Sold out is sold out.
