Liberal Minded in Canada

Maple Leaf marriage--government subsidizes polygamy in Canada. Is this a good idea? HT The Corner. Canada News:

Hundreds of [greater Toronto area] Muslim men in polygamous marriages — some with a harem of wives — are receiving welfare and social benefits for each of their spouses, thanks to the city and province, Muslim leaders say. [snip]

"There are many people in the community who are taking advantage of this," Ali said. "This is a law and there's nothing wrong with it." Immigration officials said yesterday that polygamous marriages aren't allowed in Canada, but that contradicts the provincial law.

"Canada is a very liberal-minded country," Ali said. "Canada is way ahead of Britain in this respect." He said Britain recently began permitting husbands to collect benefits for each of their wives.

Just a matter of time under a liberal Dem administration here, though chances are greater under an Obama administration than a Clinton one.
