There is just so much that's wrong in this thread... I don't know where to begin. It's overwhelming really.
You might be right. It's strange how it's being written about on here.
You can't be serious? What you said was meant as a joke, right?
You are mentioning:
(1) Ontario Human Rights Code/Canadian Human Rights Code
(2) Government policies do not apply to anti-racial discrimination laws to the world's oldest profession
(3) John are "soon to be criminals"...
(1) In the case of
Bedford et al. v. Canada (Attorney General), 2010 ONCA 814 did you learn of any parts of Bedford's at al. argument that centred on the
Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms?
Please look at these links for the answer:

(2) What is Bedford et al. fighting for? Isn't her fight that government policies and laws should allow sex workers to do what they do safely? By the previous prostitution laws being struck down by the Supreme Court of Canada, and the federal court saying that laws need to be changed, you think that government policies
do not apply?
(3) Do you think that being a 'John' is currently legal? Go into your local police station, tell them you are a 'John', give them a list of the sex providers you were with, and then see what happens.

A lot of people here now say "stop sulking", 'get over it', "quit crying", etc. Do you people think that Ontario Human Right's law will be changed and it will still be legal to make judgements about a person's race? Heck, I'd bet that even asking for a 'John' to tell a sex worker his/her race could be construed as information used in an unjust selection process and open to action at the Ontario Human Rights level. Nobody here is crying, sulking, lamenting over whatever racist providers. A lot of people here seem to think that overthrowing Canadian Human Rights/Canadian Criminal Code laws would be possible
and allow "personal preference", "choice", (read: racism) etc. to continue. You think that it'll be okay with the judicial system/government to have sex work permitted
and permit sex providers to refuse clients based on race?
You can't fight to be included under the Human Rights law/Criminal Code and then say other Canadian laws needn't apply to you or you need to follow them.
Lomotil and the other dudes... just wow... keep on refusing to accept racism happens in sex work. I think many Canadians just can't accept that racism is still a large part of our culture (be it from Aboriginal rights, to 'stop and search' tactics, long form birth certificate demands for Obama, etc.). People don't want to accept it and refuse to see modern society for what it still is.
