Rising Popularity of the Legalization of Polygamy

This isn't on our schedule of moral controversies in the Philosophy course, but it would make for some interesting discussions. And don't get me going about how the Supreme Court of Canada discovered specific protection for homosexuals in the Constitution. At least with the Americans they can argue that the Founders reactions to new situations might have to be imagined or new interpretations created given two hundred years of history since the writing of the document.

Chrétien was Minister of Justice when the text of the Charter was written, just a few short years before the discovery occurred. The politicians made a prudential decision to leave sexual orientation out of the text, and, lo and behold, a few short years later their appointees find it there. Humph!

Rising Popularity of the Legalization of Polygamy: "

In Canada, polygamy is oozing onto the public square as a result of same-sex marriage lending legitimacy to some of it’s argument. What’s different in this case is that a majority of the anti-polygamy lobby is being fueled by opressive feminists who, because of their ideology, find polygamy repugnant. Now that Pandora’s box has been opened, on what grounds can the Canadian government ‘fairly’ prevent voluntary plural marriage?
