Comments about ‘Canadian polygamist sect under pressure’

The Blind leading the Blind, if theyre smart they will investigate before Sentencing (unlike the USA)
They have already convicted before investigating, lets just hope they can find time for the investigation before the sentence.
"Something must be done," he said.
Here is how it works, first we convict, then we Sentence, and if public outcry is too high we investigate. USA handbook on minorities.

And the sickness of a patriarchal culture keeps on coming.

Check out the photos to the left of the artcle and look at No. 6. "employees preparing fence posts on Monday". One looks about 10, one maybe 12. Why these two aren't in school on a Monday they don't say. I find it very telling in contrast to the others showing kids playing games.

I would be surprised if Canada raids their compound just because of their religious beliefs. We're talking about a country where Sikhs (I think that's the group) can carry knives to public schools for religious reasons.

Even if they do, I'd be more surprised if there isn't a n evenbigger political price to pay than in Texas.

Leave the victims alone. The men are the perpetrators!

So much better not to have "little house on the prairie" anywhere. Just stamp it out. It is so much preferable and right to have our current culture. I just love my gang and drug infested neighborhood.

And if we are going to institutionalize underage sex, its so much better that it happens with the beat of HIP HOP in the background, while mommy is in her drug induced haze. Government knows just what to do to keep us happy. Yay for them! Down with those dirty animals in Texas, Colorado City, and Canada. They are wrecking the planet.

(Please see the absurd sarcasm before censoring my comments) Good grief. I just can not believe what a witch hunt this has become.

I agree that the victims should be left alone.
Save the children. The mom's need to have their heads examed, knowingly to let their daughters go thru birthing, when they should be playing w/ dolls, not tending to their babies. Babies having babies is sad !!

I know someone who managed to get away from that group in "Bountiful" with her children. She was abused and when she returned for a funeral of one of her parents or grandparents her "husband" raped her! She left because the "Elders" of the group were planning on sending a group of girls to Colorado City, AZ to be married and her daughter was one of them, so she took her kids and left. Last I heard she is doing good :)
It may take the BC government a while to do something, but they will do it! I just hope they do it right and take care of the kids and women, my friend said they are very much brainwashed and don't know it unless they get out.

Shut 'em down! Shut 'em ALL down!

There is no place in this world for brainwashing women into believing that God wants them to be sex slaves for lustful men!

Polygamy is not an issue of freedom, it is an issue of enslavement of women.

STOP IT ALL NOW!

"Polygamy is not an issue of freedom, it is an issue of enslavement of women."

Actually it IS an issue of freedom, where only consenting adults are involved.

The fact is that the government has no right to tell its citizens how they can live. That so many Canadians endorse other 'alternative lifestyles' but not that one speaks of bias.

Whoever has access to the captive kids web page webmaster please inform him/her that I can no longer view the time line with my safari browser, although it used to display just fine. When I try to view it I now get an error message "Error: Failed to derive URL prefix for Timeline API code files" I also get a similar error message for the other pages, but after refreshing the page I can eventually view the other pages.

Why do the women and children have to make their own clothes, while the men wear jeans, dress shirts and ties? (Pictures to the right) The girls are wearing sandels with socks a month ago in Canada, Isn't it cold in Canada in April? They can't even afford shoes for their children to wear to school. It's not just abuse, but also neglect. I hope they take them all down. Don't mess with TEXAS!

Yeah!! Lets get rid of anyone that isnt the same as us!! (Wheres the tar and feather when you need it??)

I wish to ask one question. Canada allows Muslims to
be married up to four women, as long as the marriage
was officiated in another country,where such types of marriages are legal. Canada then recognizes these
marriages as legal.This law was just changed within
past months. How would this affect the situation in
Bountiful? This is not intended as a trick question.

Religions not sending kids to school is accepted in both the United States and in Canada. I am speaking of the Huiterites. With the Huits. girls drop out of school at age 8 and boys at the age of 10. Girls are then taught homemaking, and boys are appentinced to a trade. THey marry in there early 20's and divorce is almost unheard among their sect.
The State of Montana lost its trial when it tried to force the kids to school. Courts ruled the reglious believes where fundimental. I see no difference with the FLDS kids helping out like this.

Hutterites, (check your spelling) among whom I've lived all my life, do not rape their children. Incest and polygamy are forbidden. People can freely leave the colony, and those that live there are always in town. Usually at the free internet place checking on hockey. They are not religious prison camps like the flds. And, they drink booze. A lot. Under the guise of religious freedom, no less. They are a patriarchal society, but if you think men run the colony, ask the men on a colony.
Hutterites are apart from the world, but they don't hide from it.
They do, however, think mormons are nuts.
Here in Canada, we think the religious prison camp at bountiful should be shut down.

Winston Blackmore, according to the article above, has 2 dozen wives and more than 100 children. Who is supporting these 125+ individuals? Think it might be you and me, maybe? And do the people in Bountiful pay taxes (they don/t in Utah/Arizona)? If they don't, who is paying for their police/fire/schools? Think it might be you and me, maybe? And when the communities in other places got lucrative contracts, they could "beat" the competition in bids because the labor is free (the people in the community). This seems like child labor laws being broken here. Persecute/prosecute them not on religious grounds but for the laws they are breaking!

The polygamist do not support their wives. The wives work for their room and board in between having babies. They are slaves. The polygamist wives spend time with the pervert and then make a baby and then have the baby, they home school and teach the kids, and have another baby, cook, clean, polish, have another baby, they do the washing for the first wife, and then have another baby, grow a garden, spend time with the pervert and have another baby, clean the house, and have even a another baby, spend time again with the pervert, and make another baby, make the beds, but first make another baby with the pervert and then make the bed, wash clothes, have another baby, spend time with the pervert, and make another baby and then they die. whewwwwwwwwwwww!!!!

Don't worry about them being too cold. They're forced to wear long underwear at all times. I'd be worried more about those in Texas when summer comes.

I live in St. George Utah. We see people from Hildale and Colorado City all the time. They are US citizens and deserve due process. I read the comments from the mental health workers this morning. They could not believe how good the kids were. They must have been brainwashed to act nicely. The mothers were kind and patient. Simpltons more brain washing. The men have a reputation for working hard. Brainwashing. We need to get them in front of TV and be part of the real world. I don't agree with everything they are doing there. It is when we follow men blindly we get in trouble; Warren Jeffs, the nightly news, radio show hosts.
