	Women deny abuse in polygamous British Columbia town
		BOUNTIFUL, British Columbia -- In a note on the town message board, women from a polygamous commune are vigorously disputing claims that they have been abused.
		British Columbia Attorney General Geoff Plant announced in July that an investigation would be conducted into accusations of child abuse, forcible marriage and sexual exploitation at the commune.
		The retort, which appeared over the weekend in a rare response from the commune, stated that 80 women, "actual members, past and present, of the Bountiful community" have signed a counterclaim to be sent to the tribunal and the government.

	Legendary British Columbia - A Solo Travel Tale
		Distressed by such nastiness among her people, British Columbia shed many tears, so that people in other lands began passing the word from place to place that it does nothing at all but rain in British Columbia.
		Surrounded as they were by lush, green mountains and bountiful sea, and smug as they were about the beauty and bounty of their British Columbia, Vancouverites hardly noticed that the fishes had left the waters around Granville Island, and that foul air wafted malodorously about the heart of the city.
		This combined cultural and industrious activity among the people raised British Columbia's spirits, and the land once again beamed so brightly that an internationally respected travel writer (Jan Morris) was compelled to remark that rain had not once dampened her six trips to Vancouver.

	LEAVING BOUNTIFUL, Mormon polygamy film, receives standing ovation
		The publicity package for Leaving Bountiful, a documentary film about the life of Debbie Palmer, a plural wife in the polygamous colony, states that it is "the story of a woman, raised from a tiny child inside a perverted value system, who somehow finds the courage...to break free.
		More gasps as one Bountiful member said that all the children born in a given year are given names starting with the same letter, "so we refer to them as the A's, the T's, the J's." The dehumanizing effect of this was readily apparent to audience members.
		At the end of the film, the narrator says that for Debbie, "the only way out of Bountiful is back through it", referring to Debbie's return to the colony to make parts of the documentary and also her advocacy work that keeps her involved in the painful trauma of her life's experiences.

	Bountiful, B.C.
		Bountiful is, to an outsider, a postcard of Bruegelian activity.

		In Bountiful, about half of all the marriages are polygamous-the number of wives that men have, some joke, is in inverse ratio to their potency.

	Abbott calls for charges against Bountiful
		Abbott, who has been a member of Parliament since 1993, has received harsh criticism for his lack of action on the Bountiful issue, but he counters that the anti-polygamy laws of Canada are federal, not provincial, and that the RCMP must complete their investigation and bring the charges.
		British Columbia attorney general Geoff Plant has approached the Canadian federal government about tightening the anti-polygamy statutes so they can withstand challenges under the freedom of religion clause of Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and until the law is amended, Abbott believes, charges leveled now won’t be successfully prosecuted.
		While much controversy has raged over the allegations at Bountiful, which was established over 50-years ago, Abbott told Cranbrook Daily Townsman reporter Gerry Warner that there are times to be political and grandstanding, and times to attempt to resolve issues so they don’t create more unrest.

		While the situation in Bountiful does not necessarily reflect polygamous communities or societies in other parts of the world, it is the only apparent Canadian example and, as such, is used as a case study throughout this paper.
