From the DOJ technical paper at http://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/rp-pr/other-autre/protect/p1.htmlYou don't know this for sure, and no one has officially expressed any end to lapdances as yet.
I'm well aware what constitutes a 'sexual service'; I'm simply referring to the massive culture-shift within the SC industry that would be required to affect an end to lap dancing.From the DOJ technical paper at http://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/rp-pr/other-autre/protect/p1.html
The following activities have been found to constitute a sexual service or an act of prostitution, if provided in return for some form of consideration: lap-dancing, which involves sitting in the client’s lap and simulating sexual intercourse;[SUP][31][/SUP] masturbation of a client in the context of a massage parlour, whether or not the client climaxes;[SUP][32][/SUP] and, sado-masochistic activities, provided that the acts can be considered to be sexually stimulating/gratifying.[SUP][33][/SUP] However, jurisprudence is clear that neither acts related to the production of pornography,[SUP][34][/SUP] nor stripping[SUP][35][/SUP] meet the test. In most cases, physical contact, or sexual interaction, between the person providing the service and the person receiving it is required; however, acts for which consideration is provided that take place in a private room in a club and that are sexual in nature, but do not involve physical contact between the “client” and “performer”, such as self-masturbation, have been found to constitute prostitution.[SUP][36][/SUP]
Does this mean that if we can get MacKay's wife to testify that he masturbates in front of her in their bedroom we can get him put away for 5 years? There's hope for revenge yet. She must be nearing the point of realizing the mistake she made. Belinda eventually realized and even went so far as to change parties to get away.From the DOJ technical paper at http://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/rp-pr/other-autre/protect/p1.html

I am with you on this one. However, I fear the worst and expect one person to be charged and convicted and lap-dances will be history for fear of future charges and convictions.I'm well aware what constitutes a 'sexual service'; I'm simply referring to the massive culture-shift within the SC industry that would be required to affect an end to lap dancing.
Stupid law. If dancers can't make money doing lap-dances many will just become independent dancers or escortsYou don't know this for sure, and no one has officially expressed any end to lapdances as yet.
They wouldn't have to charge thousands of people. They'd just go around to the clubs and give the owners a warning .Then come back a few times and a few more warnings. Then arrest the owners if they don't put a stop to the practice.Unless they plan on charging thousands upon thousands of normal people, lap-dancing is not suddenly going to become any more legally dangerous than it already is. And I highly doubt anyone is seriously going to pursue charging someone for something as conservative as a lapdance when there are far more serious crimes of a sexual nature going on.
Only if he pays her to watch.Does this mean that if we can get MacKay's wife to testify that he masturbates in front of her in their bedroom we can get him put away for 5 years?

Do Albertans actually pay for lapdances with no contact?this how stripclubs work in Alberta, any lapdance or even contact is not permitted
Listen, these cops have no real work to do. Serious crime is constantly decreasing. Therefore they create criminals out of ordinary people who just want to have fun.Unless they plan on charging thousands upon thousands of normal people, lap-dancing is not suddenly going to become any more legally dangerous than it already is. And I highly doubt anyone is seriously going to pursue charging someone for something as conservative as a lapdance when there are far more serious crimes of a sexual nature going on.
