"Barbaric" Cultural Practices

Polygamy always happens, Mike Tyson had 20 girlfriends, so did Tiger woods. 80/20 rule.
Forced marriages are not really "forced". The couple actually court each other under supervision of the elders. Its kinda how North America was in the 30's and 50's.
The rest I agree.
Canada & the US continue to shamefully tolerate Polygamist cults, which are really nothing more than scams where mostly hereditary "church" elders can get themselves a new 13 year old bride every few years. It creates a major credibility hole when criticizing other cultures.
So enforce the laws we already have against trafficking, underage sex and marriage. Trouble is that wouldn't offer anything to racist fundamentalist CPoC voters—particularly the ones in Bountiful—so we get lumbered with another law targetting immigrants.
it's called christian privilege. the same thing where Christians are allowed to refuse to do jobs they hired to do even when they are liscenses by the state. calling it "freedom of conscience" but when muslims do it. it is stealth jihad, creeping sharia, islamization etc this called for "counter jihad" these days
What on earth are you writing about. Where is it legal to marry a 13 year-old in North America?

Canada mulls ban on polygamist immigrants
For those who like to have more than one wife and a fresh new citizenship, Canada may be slipping off the list.
The North American country - which is considered by some as one of the top destinations for those looking to acquire a powerful passport - is planning to ban entry to migrants who practice polygamy and “barbaric cultural practices,” its immigration minister said Wednesday.
The move follows a spate of so-called “honor” killings over the past decade involving immigrant families from the Middle East and South Asia.
“We are strengthening our laws to protect Canadians and newcomers to Canada from barbaric cultural practices,” Chris Alexander said in a statement, Agence France-Presse reported.
“We are sending a strong message to those in Canada and those who wish to come to Canada that we will not tolerate cultural traditions in Canada that deprive individuals of their human rights.”
The sweeping changes to Canada’s immigration act would also prohibit forced marriages, set a minimum age for marriage at 16 and limit possible defenses in “honor” killings and many spousal murders.
In “honor” killings, carried out to protect what is seen as family pride, reasons for disapproval can include having relationships outside of one’s caste or religion.
In May, a court ordered the mother and uncle of a Canadian woman allegedly killed overseas over her secret marriage to a poor rickshaw driver to be extradited to India to face prosecution for murder and conspiracy to commit murder in the 14-year-old case.

Why not just limit immigration to Anglican Christians ? We could take a vote !
Polygamy is a Christian issue which like the C-36 prostitution bill and homosexuality before it, is wrapped up and intertwined with child rape in order to vilify a chosen life style.
I can't imagine living with multiple wives (it's like a tag team beating) but if three consenting adults choose to live a particular life style - it is their life and their decision. What hypocritical God like asshole has the right to dictate how other adults live their lives ? I guess Ottawa politicians for one.
There are hundreds maybe thousands of muslim men in Toronto who have multiple wives. That guy who killed his daughters in Kingston a few years ago had 2 wives (he killed one of them).
The best part is that they get the women to claim welfare and sign the cheques over to them.

A small chunk of them are. I know of a kid down in my area who at 14 was 'kidnapped' by a relative to be married back in the family's home country.
But yes, I'm sure there are a lot more arranged marriages where the kids can say no.
Actually in some provinces, they can with the agreement of a family court and in Alberta a pregnant woman is allowed to be married underage.
My memory seems to think that in Newfoundland the age used to be 12 with parental consent.
It reminds me of that article of Maggie McNeil: A Brief History of Prostitution in the US.

Harper like to emulate the US and lives 140 years in the past...
