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...

La vie en rose's interest in women's cultural events and feminist artistic creations is hardly a phenomenon of its own invention. The magazine started to publish after a long and intense decade of feminist activism: a decade of close convergence among women's cultural and political groups. Already during the sixties, socialist journals such as Parti Pris (1963-1968) used to publish critical analysis of current political and social issues as well as of the arts and cultural productions with several authors contributing to both types of articles (Laurin, 2005). At the start of second wave feminism in Québec, women's groups - in and outside Montréal - were engaged in all kinds of collective action developed and organized around several issues related to women's social and economic conditio...

Although the two aforementioned dimensions have been recovered widely in previous research, the relations between these two dimensions have tended to vary across samples, both within and between cultures (e.g., [Duckitt], 2001; [Duriez] et al., 2005). In some samples, the two dimensions are nearly independent, but in other samples the relations are much stronger. In an attempt to understand these variations, Duckitt and colleagues (Duckitt, 2001; Duckitt et al., 2002) and Duriez et al. (2005) have hypothesised that the strength of the relation between the two dimensions depends on the national political context and on the characteristics of the respondents. With regard to between-culture differences, Duckitt and colleagues suggested that the relations between the two dimensions are stro...
