Research could take another year to get through it all. I could send you a list of books as long as my arm. I believe now that this is another delay tactic. We may not see anything happening until after the election.

A special prosecutor, Terry Robertson (the third to be appointed on the case), will decide whether polygamists at the Bountiful, British Columbia settlement should face criminal charges for sexual abuse and violating Canada's anti-polygamy law.

Apparently with an eye to the Texas FLDS fiasco, Robertson is going to ask the Canadian Mounties to reopen their investigation into the community, specifically to determine if the men, including leader Winston Blackmore, above, are fathering children with underage girls. He is also calling for more research into the impact of polygamy on Canadian society (which should be fascinating reading).

The review won't be finished this fall.
