And if she gets pregnant, we get a nice tax cut. C-36 and income splitting: now there's just no excuse not to be a stay at home mom. Seriously, least risky would be reputable indies. Random BP can be stings (though unlikely), and agencies can attract LE attention for many reasons. Indies are...

I agree that it would be ridiculous for the law to define what a sex act is, because it can really be just about anything. The problem is that like in a case of sexual assault, the only persons who can really judge are the ones involved. The opinion of an average bystander seems relevant for...

Reverdy explained the Coderre situation in a previous post. Montreal Police also published their official plan.

I agree with that, but I never implied otherwise regarding Harper. With the number of challenges they had in the past Harper is certainly not afraid of another one. But this is such a small issue that I don't really see this law as some central plot to destroy the SCC. And like I said he's so...

I meant it's sort of allowed in principle, so long as it's not a commercial enterprise. It's not the fact that she hires a bodyguard that makes it a commercial enterprise. Rather it's things like the scope of her operation, the level of organization, etc. The more organized her ''business'' is...

Yes, when the Canadian Bar Association gave their testimony this one of the section that was most obviously a problem. The sneaky part is that it is at least nominally possible for them to hire help. It is not an outright criminalization of 3rd party like the old laws and it is vague and...

They are criminalized if the financial benefit was obtained ''in the context of a commercial enterprise''. It does not mean that the 3rd party have to be a commercial business themselves. This refers to the sex worker: is her setup a commercial enterprise. Suppose I am a security guard working...

You might be right on this point, but my bottom dollar is going to be used hiring escorts, not on betting events.:biggrin1: I'm sure there's going to be some cases somewhere in Canada. Nobody is saying that's unlikely.There's been arrest with the old law and there will be some with the new ones...

Enforcement for something like consensual prostitution is handled by local LE, not by the RCMP. Prosecution is handled by the provinces, not the federal. So the enforcement for this is totally up to the cities and province and Harper has no direct control over it. Unless you're in a city in a...

I understand that's Harper's rhetoric but he's not really fooling many people. You have to make a distinction between what they ''believe'' and what they claim they believe. Harper's real beef is with the constitution itself more than with the courts. Even before the bill was tabled I knew he...

My understanding is that this provision does not apply to indoor, since it is not open to public view. Now that I think of it I don't know if public place includes the inside of a public commerce such as a body rub parlor? The place is owned by someone, but it is open to the public.

In recent years all my sex has been paid and I still like them. I don't often get to play with cats either and I think they're cool nonetheless (I don't resent cat ladies who have 20 at any given time).

It's 286.2 (5) (e): ''received the benefit in the context of a commercial enterprise that offers sexual services for consideration.'' And in principle it can also apply to indies whenever there is a 3rd party. According to the Technical paper: Any setup with a 3rd party can potentially be...

And as long as it's not in the context of a commercial enterprise...

The SCC is not taking any activist stance, nor challenging parliament authority. They simply apply the Charter, which is the highest law in the land, superseding all the other ones. And like MPAsquared said, you seem to not realize the separation of legal power. Parliament's job is completely...
