Parlons Parliament

Polygamy Proposed

"...I do, I do, I do until death do us all part..."

It may be news to people unfamiliar with Canada that we have one of the highest ratios of women to men in the world. Ratios of 2 to 1, 3 to 1 and even 4 to 1 are not uncommon. What this means of course is that the selection for women is limited. They usually settle for what they can get and end up being abandoned upon becoming pregnant.
To avoid this social degeneration, a new bill was introduced to parliament recently designed to eliminate the problem of single motherhood. Polygamy, plain and simple. One good man, three good women. 
Thus Canadian males can enjoy all the joys of being with women, without even leaving home. There would be enough fooling around at home to prevent the need to stray elsewhere, thereby reducing the frolic and flight syndrome.
Peter Taylor, the MLA proposing the bill loves the idea. "You could have one that likes cooking, one that likes kids, and one that likes sex. It's no different than pizza really. Three for one. If the man doesn't make enough money to support them all, he can send a few of them to work."
Female legislators would like to have the honorable Mr. Taylor undergo psychiatric treatment: "He's obviously way out to lunch on this one. Canadian women aren't going to stand for it.. " 
We'd like to let the girls decide for themselves!
As a writer once asked: " Voulez vous couchez avec trois ce soir?" (Henry Pascal , 1645)
