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...

Has it come to this? Is [Frances Russell] actually warning us to beware of a war plan over 70 years old? Must we now fear things that even the headline admits never happened?

Such a plan could be reactivated "within weeks or days" if Canadians "were to elect a provocative, Hugo Chavez-style nationalist as prime minister or align ourselves with nations challenging U.S. economic... hegemony.

Secondly, for Canadians to choose such...
