Gay Marriage Legalizations in the News

Earlier this week, Canada legalized gay marriage (CBC.ca, BBC, becoming the third country to do so after Belgium and the Netherlands. Interestingly to me, US media did not report this.

Today, Spain became the fourth country to do so (CNN, BBC). Even more interestingly, CNN did report this, but called it only the third country to do so. Now, I know the Netherlands is a made-up country, and Canada doesn't count, so shouldn't that make Spain the second country after Belgium?
