CRANBROOK, B.C. — Two former bishops of an isolated religious commune in British Columbia have been found guilty of practising polygamy after a decades-long legal fight launched by the provincial government.
Winston Blackmore, 60, was married to Jane Blackmore and then married 24 additional women as part of so-called "celestial" marriages involving residents in the tiny community of Bountiful.
The court heard his co-defendant James Oler, 53, had five wives.
Meanwhile hundreds maybe thousands of Moslems in Canada have multiple wives and not a thing will be done about it.
