Almost two-thirds of Canadians in a recent poll think FLDS members in a British Columbia FLDS colony should be prosecuted for polygamy.

B.C.'s Attorney General Wally Oppal agrees, but can't seem to motivate his own prosecutors, lightweights who think Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which protects religious freedom, could undermine any polygamy cases. Only 19 per cent of Canadians would agree the charter protects the polygamists.

Oppal says he'll decide "soon" what to do about the polygamous community of Bountiful. It may be up to the B.C. Court of Appeal to decide whether Canada’s anti-polygamy laws could endure a court challenge. Says Oppal:

There’s been no shortage of advice, gratuitous advice, from across the country, with law professors writing in and other people asking why we haven’t gone ahead. There’s a small matter of witnesses. There are none.

Bountiful's polygamous chieftain, Winston Blackmore, who has more wives than most men have neckties, told reporters:

I understand that Wally Oppal has selected a couple of the best legal minds in the country to give him an opinion. And if he was wise, I think that he would just follow their opinion. But I’m not Wally Oppal.

In the photo above of Winston Blackmore and a small part of his thermonuclear family, it's obvious that Canadian FLDS have a different fashion sense than Texan FLDS. And the baby has a Canada blanket! Somehow, the Bountiful FLDS don't seem so "other" as the Texas bunch — in fact, they look downright Baptist (or at least like extras for "Big Love").
