Re: Hello
Hi Anthony, and welcome. There is a very nice Monastery in Perth, Ontario - not terribly far from Toronto - which I have visited before. Ajahn Viradhammo is the Abbot there. It is a nice place.

Access to Insight has a handy index of suttas here . The icon on the top-left of the page is also a drop-down menu with an option that provides...

Re: Is Buddhism strictly monogamous?
I was wondering: non-monogamous relationship forms like polyamory are increasingly common and personally I think love shared is love multiplied.
