Because they are smart enough to realize that allowing gay couples to marry does not "threaten" heterosexual marriage. They realize that same-sex couples are just as committed as heterosexual couples.
There are far bigger threats to marriage than allowing same-sex couples to join the institution. The high divorce rate and people waiting longer to get married are just two of them.

Canada prides itself on being a diverse and multi-cultral country that accepts the values of everyone. Don't think that same sex marriages are under the definition of marriage since "marriage" is a Christian term, shouldn't they be the ones to decide what it is? Maybe we should come up with another term for same sex "unions"?

Because they realize that we have free will to be with who we choose.
Some states in the US accept same sex marriages also.

Some allow same sex marrage.
Some countries hang gays in public (like Iran).

Because they obviously feel that they have no right to deny the marriage of two individuals who say they truly share the mutual feeling of love.

because Canadians realize that even if they dont agree with the lifestyle, they should atleast agree to have the right to that lifestyle.
