VP101 member (many of you know Lily) will lead this month's discussion. Topic to be announced, and I'm sure it will be a good one! I will also be there to take questions about polyamory or Victoria poly community, and give a synopsis of the Vancouver "What is Polyamory?" Panel I assisted with on April 11, 2011 for the benefit of the CPAA's court case proceedings against Canada's polygamy law. See you there!

Closing arguments posted in Canadian litigation March 2011
Greetings to all
Written closing arguments have been filed.
Oral closing arguments are expected to be heard between March 28 and April 8 (10 days).
The CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) has obtained the right (a first in BC) to video tape court proceedings and will do a webcast (video and sound) of the closing arguments.
The closing arguments, as well as all other documents are here.
https://docs.google.com/?tab=
Our closing argument was designed to piggy back on the closing argument of the Amicus, who did a great job focusing on the law generally. He also has a significant section in his brief on international law, including US. The CPAA closing is focused on the facts surrounding polyamory. John Ince intends to read the affidavits of our poly families into the record as part of the closing, as we did not present any oral evidence.
You will see from the closing arguments of the Attorneys General of Canada/BC, that they try to minimize the meaning of the literal words of the criminal law, the extent of polyamory, and the impact of the criminal law section on polyamorists so as to convince the court that the Canadian law should be upheld.
