Rob Nicolson AG said the following:
“The practice of polygamy has no place in modern Canadian society. The Government of Canada firmly believes that the Criminal Code prohibition against polygamy is consistent with Canadian values as well as compliant with the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. We strongly believe that this prohibition created by Canada’s elected representatives should be upheld.”
However, since Rob Nicolson has refused to attend two other provincial cases where Saskatchewan statutes do allow polygamy, they intervenors will be bound by his refusal to attend only BC’s prosecution. BC polygamists will point to his refusal to attend elsewhere in polygamy cases where religeous prosecution was not an issue. lam dunk for Polygamists..because Rob Nicolson has previously shown his bias in his actions or non-actions in Saskatchewan.

The genders are reversed. Saskatchewan courts allow Polyandry and have the test cases to prove it. In each case Rob Nicolson has refused to attend to support the ficticious Federal position that polygamy and polyandry are illegal in Canada. Therefore, polygamy is legal in Saskatchewan as is Polyandry. Obviously, Rob nicolson supports polygamy be refusing to attend 2 constitutional cases on the matter.

Polygamy WOULD be a crime if the genders were reversed. It’s only gotten this century’s traction because they aren’t. And if it is legal then let’s get Polyandry on the road toute suite. Imagine the fun competitive regattas between their wives and our husbands.
