https://terb.cc is not a site where you post porn. It is a forum where women post their ads and men comment on their services. See the difference?

Good post.
If I had a comment on the pay for sex industry in Canada in the last 10 years, it would be that it has become a LOT more mainstream and out in the open. (Which is why Ms. Bedford should have just left things well enough alone. I truly blame her naivety for this result. But I digress.) Paying for sex is far more out in the open than it has ever been in the past. You can see that on TERB, and by the shear numbers of women in the industry and the proliferation of massage parlours, etc. Because the laws were favourable, and the ones that did exist were rarely enforced (the exception may have been street walking), more and more men began to take part in "the hobby". You can see that on TERB.
But things are going to change.
Sure, there will be a hard core group of guys who will role the dice and take their chances because they NEED to hobby.
But the recreational users of the hobby, the guys who have a lot to lose, professionals who cannot chance a criminal record will stop and stop cold. (Or if they do still partake, it will be all the while looking over their shoulders for LE and it won't be a comfortable place to hobby from. We (and I say we because I'm in this category will not enjoy the overall experience because in the back of our heads it will be, "Christ, I hope I don't get busted" and visions of those US cop shows where they set up stings to bust johns will be replaying in our heads as we walk up to whatever location.)
The neuveau hobbiest (the guys who have driven the explosive growth in Canada in the last 10 years) will severely curtail and or eliminate altogether their involvement in pay for play industry. It's never going to disappear, but it is going to get clobbered and with it, the thousands of women who make their living from it.
Once this law is passed, this hobby will go right back to the way it was in 1972 in Canada. Underground, dangerous for all, highly unpredictable and fraught with risk.
Yeah but they don`t want to expose kids to the ads due to their adult content right? I`ll have to read it over but that was my impression.
Sadly I think you're moving to our model, which is the wrong direction. In fairness, Democrats down here favor outlawing prostitution as well - not a lot of political empathy on either side for horny rich guys. Would the other Canadian parties really have done anything different, what are the real polls (vs the nonsense online being posted here) on the topic on Canada?

Reading prostitution act #C36 I wonder if Harper plans to run an election based on attacking the Supreme Court. So clearly ignores Bedford.

I have no doubt this bill is unconstitutional, but what is the process by which it can be taken down? Can Bedford go back to the court and on the basis of their last ruling ask for a summary judgment on this new legislation? Since the govt claims the goal of this bill is to stop exploitation, and it can be easilt shown on the basis of the last challange it endangers them, what is the earliest the supreme court can review and thrash this?
Yes, according to Ms. Nikki Thomas porn is now illegal as well.

SPs are allowed to advertise their own services, so I don't see how they are trying to eliminate every single escort ad. The bill would eliminate third parties advertising someone else's services.
Under the new regime, nobody would want to write reviews anymore. That would basically be an after the fact admittance of committing a crime.

Not saying I'm happy about it, but to point out an important difference TERB is Canadian, Xhamster is not.
They can't and won't. But they will target some of the big sites or players, say like Mirage, Dream-Makers etc. that make a profit from the escorts. Not likely and indie (too small of a fish) .
The thinking is that publicity and reaction will scare the others away to avoid the same fate. It always works to a degree.
I hope he tries it, the Supreme Court is the last thin line protecting us from Adolf Harper. Canadians will not accept this shit.
Once it passes into law it can be appealed. We all know how long that will take, don't we.
Hard to say.
The Reformers see this as legislating morality / prostitution = crime.
The Liberals and the NDP see it from the feminist Nazi point of view of women are victims of male chauvinism.
I think the liberals and the NDP would not have enacted such sweeping legislation with such outrageous (or absurd) penalties.
I'm all for protecting those under 18 and eliminating the nuisance of street walkers, however, that's about where it ends. I don't believe in the "woman as victim" or victims at all.
From what I have read, they are interested in eliminating all the sites used by advertisers in the industry. The ones from outside Canada, could they be blocked? Kind of how Turkey blocked Twitter not that long ago.
If I had to speculate a way around the moral majority law, as it relates to advertising on the internet.....
I would speculate that websites for Sex Workers in Canada could easily be hosted in European countries - Holland, Germany, etc. I see a great business opportunity for such things in Europe. Of course, it would cost the providers a lot more than what they are used to paying, but that's the way it goes.
That eliminates the possibility of their sites being shut down.
But it won't eliminate the danger if they get busted.
They will need to come up with a hell of a secure means of communication that simply cannot be traced. (And no, the 7-11 cell phone would not be untraceable.)
The bill has not been passed into law.
Go forth and fornicate young man. Your days of care-free fornication are coming to an end.
