Woman declared dead gets apology
Ms. Towle, a resident of Kamloops, B.C., was somehow declared dead by Human Resources and Skills Development Canada in September. “This is an unfortunate situation, which we are diligently working to resolve,” said Melissa Hart, a spokeswoman for the government branch. “We have been in direct contact with the affected individual and have let them know that the mistake has been fixed. We have issued a letter of apology and have initiated a detailed internal review of the situation.”
The polygamy battle goes on
B.C. pops the question: Is polygamy a crime?
Dirk Meissner writes:
Canadians and the justice system need clarity on whether polygamy is a crime, British Columbia’s attorney general said Thursday in announcing he will ask the B.C. Supreme Court for an opinion on the federal law barring multiple marriage.
Mike de Jong said the government has decided to seek the opinion rather than appeal last month’s court ruling that quashed polygamy charges against the leaders of a controversial religious sect in southeastern B.C.
The feds will also intervene. Their position is that polygamy is a crime in this country.
Mental illness and crime
Father suffocated sons, stabbed daughter, murder trial told
Another case where mental illness is at issue. Perhaps, if we as a society spent more money on diagnosis, treatment and care of the mentally ill, we would have fewer crimes like this.

More video showed a blood-splattered home leading from the living room into a bedroom where two messages were written in what appears to have been blood on a white pillow case. On one side the note reads “gone to Neverland” and the opposite site reads “forever young.”
Polygamy legalization may be in sight
Petti Fong writes:
The province has had its hands tied with proceeding with charges for fear that if the polygamy law is struck down by a successful challenge under the Charter, it could strike down the law and make polygamy legal in Canada.

Taser maker to file suit over inquiry
… “The assertion is that commission breached basic principles of fairness and fundamental justice,” Mr. Neave said in an interview with CTV at his Vancouver office. “They were biased in the sense that a substantial body of science and medical study we provided to the commission was not considered.”
Interesting. A commission of inquiry does not administer justice. It’s a “study” commission. How can it breach principles of fairness and fundamental justice?
