Well at least we’ll have Danny Williams to bail us out.

Update : One thing Dalton could do is crack down on the illegal cigarette trade , and try to regain control of the lost tax revenue. But Weak Sisters don’t do that kind of thing.
Anyway, who would want to invest in a province where natives are allowed to barricade highways at will, and told they have the legal right to intimidate business developers ? Go west, young man!

I just happened upon this editorial by Jacob Brinkman Reaume posted on the National Post blog site – We’re lost in the fog of a moral disaster . Reaume’s premise appears to be that here in Canada we really have very little ground to stand on when attempting to restrict polygamy from a moral viewpoint.
When we abandon the notion of an absolute truth (read ‘God’) , then we put ourselves at the mercy of the State to define morality for us. When it comes to polygamy, the only legal club we could possibly have against it is prosecution in cases of underage girls being forced to have sex. That becomes difficult when the victims refuse to testify or even acknowledge abuse.
The comments following the piece are interesting and demonstrate the wide variance of opinion on this matter. Please feel free to weigh in with your own thoughts here.

Update : Shane at the Politic has a somewhat related post – Gay rights do not equal cohabitation rights in England.
