Beautiful Bountiful BC and the Polygamists

[diabolical_Tanya]

BOUNTIFUL, B.C. — A teenaged relative of Winston Blackmore says RCMP travelled to the United States late last year to interview her about her uncle.

Cindy Blackmore says two Mounties who flew to Las Vegas also asked her what it was like to grow up in the polygamous community of Bountiful, in southeastern B.C.

The seventeen-year-old, who was raised with two mothers in a polygamous family but left home at 14, says she is not a polygamist but is not against it.

She says people should have the choice about whether to live that kind of lifestyle, even though she chooses not to.

<span style="font-weight: bold">Fifty-two-year-old Winston Blackmore and 44-year-old James Oler were arrested Wednesday and charged with one count each of practising polygamy in a case that will test the country’s prohibition of multiple marriage. </span>
