This paper sets the current debate about Canada's criminal law prohibiting polygamy in an historical, social and legal context, and argues that this law is constitutionally valid and sound social policy. Unlike the recognition of same-sex marriage, which promoted equality and saved government resources, the recognition of polygamy would promote inequality and impose costs on Canadian society. The social reality of polygamy is often exploitative of women and harmful to children, and its practice is contrary to fundamental Canadian values. If Canada's prohibition on polygamy is ruled unconstitutional, we would likely have to allow immigration by polygamous families. Western European countries, which allowed immigration by polygamous families in the past, experienced significant social and...

There is no doubt that, especially in the United States, sex scandals involving people in high places inspire explosive news coverage. The Clinton-Lewinsky liaison occupied the news media and Congress for many months and led to proceedings aimed at impeachment of President Bill Clinton. The public lapped it up. But looked at rationally, it is somewhat difficult to understand why. The revelation that a prominent married man, or woman, had extramarital relations falls more in the category of "dog bites man" rather than "man bites dog " as far as newsworthiness is concerned. Perhaps the most notable example of the attitude of the public to sex scandals was the election of Grover Cleveland to the American presidency in 1892. Cleveland was exposed as having fathered a child out of wedlock. H...
