Are you kidding me?
Hanging out in hotel bars? Similar to Vegas?
I don't think so. If I'm the manager of the Royal York, I don't want working girls "hanging out" in the hotel bar. (I think he (or she) would much prefer the system that is in place now.)
Also, there will be no "behind the scenes". No such thing. LE will go right to "behind the scenes" when their politician masters tell them to enforce the laws. Just because you think an agency is "reputable" (whatever that means - the dog food diner at Bathurst and Dupont has been reputable since 1954 and it's right on their sign) doesn't mean that LE will see them as anything other than a bunch of pimps to be busted and shut down (thus protecting the victims who are currently working for them [sarcasm]).
If the owner of any so called "reputable" escort agency lives in Canada and is marketing sexual services in one form or another, he or she is going to get busted hard and thrown in jail. Count on it.
Even if the owners move to the so called dark internet, LE will still find them and still shut them down.
From my post last night:
Seems like MacKay got a heads-up from Justice officials about a $175,000 survey on public attitudes toward prostitution
that the government funded but the results didn't fit his political agenda and so he buried it.:
"...As La Presse revealed Wednesday, a $175,000 survey on public attitudes toward prostitution was commissioned by the government but Mr. MacKay was warned in a memo by Justice officials in January that the results may contradict government policy. The report was promptly shelved and the results won’t be published until the new bill has been sent to committee.
Instead, the government published an online consultation that fit with its preferred result – a majority suggesting the purchase of sexual services should be an offence."

Yes, once the legislation passes. https://twitter.com/MsNikkiThomas/status/474292771487248384 Follow https://twitter.com/MsNikkiThomas if you're on Twitter.
Read this, https://twitter.com/MsNikkiThomas/status/474285837010886656 I haven't read the entire bill.
I don't think a disclaimer makes it private. I suspect you'd need a password.
They are a third party and are unfortunately seen as pimps. Don't think they could be classified as bodyguards either. If charged, the courts again would be the ones that interpret what they are, but they will be shut down until it is resolved which can take years.
Unless they move out of Canada with their website they are directly in the crosshairs.
Not only would you need a password but also a way to determine that the user is 18+, plus you would have to prove that the use proved that he/she is 18+, which implies keeping a record of some kind of id.
To be honest I think everything will be just the way it is now, at least for proper operators, but they will want to make sure that they don't let a some nut job near their agency (like the one that was posting addresses the other day). I just search for escorts in Sweden and there are plenty of sites advertising despite their tough laws. Having said that, people proposing such laws must be 40 year old virgins or something
Ok glad that post disappeared.
Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning…
Can't tell if your a male or a female, not that it matters.
Nothing you wrote is believable except maybe for the Kathleen Wynne thing.
...Crawl back into your hole.

I don't think you need to change anything, it will still be legal to be an escort and sell your services. But those changes won't hurt.
I think the big concern is how terb and agencies will be affected.
I was just speculating as to how the govt. could prevent advertising - think The Redzone - from being viewed by Canadians.
I agree its confusing and a mess. The agencies would also be advertising on their website which could be seen as promoting activity…
I think the first cases you will see are the agencies rounded up and tossed to the courts and prosecutors to sort out. Happens all the time. If there is an acquittal it is usually ignored by the media as a footnote.
They largely seem to be ignoring the story. As posted yesterday The National Post is outspokenly critical far more so than even The Toronto Star.
Too bad it wasn't always like this, the "owner" should be working for them.
I would respectfully disagree. A newspaper would be considered public. Terb's escort agency advertising page does not require logging on to view so it could be viewed by the public and classified as public.
