Over here, we have Lifesite wringing their hands over a recent Government of Canada study on the topic of decriminalizing polygamy. In the usual, paranoid and irrational manner of these folks, they try to tie things back to Same Gender Marriage, and then claim that we are on the slippery slope to damnation.
Fortunately, far more rational analysis exist, which actually frame the issue in much clearer terms.
Quite some time ago, I had started to suspect that the polygamy-following-from-SGM argument was a complete crock based on the other discrimination protections in the Charter. Michelle Mann's analysis points out much the same issues, and she elaborates on it much better than I have been able to so far.
