FLDS Not Welcome In Saskatchewan

A Canadian Press report yesterday says that Saskatchewan's attorney general and Minister of Justice, Frank Quennell, does not welcome the news that the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints may be planning to create a colony in Saskatchewan. The fundamentalist Mormon splinter group practices polygamy and has been embroiled in legal battles in the United States. (See prior posting.) Quennell said, "Polygamy is against the law in Canada and perhaps more importantly, there are laws against the sexual exploitation of children and minors. Those laws will be enforced in Saskatchewan and we certainly don't have the welcome mat out for anybody who would break them."
