Yep. And he is enforcing his religious and moral believes into law and down our throat. This what you get when you elect a Religious fanatic. Next, No more Porn, next no more strip clubs, next more same sex marriages, next more Pride Parades to fight for same sex marriage. Congrats Canada we have Adolf Harper as the elect dictator.

Prostitution has been legal in Canada for a number of years. So the issue was not about legalizing it. It is, or should have been, about dealing with some of the negative aspects while not putting sex workers lives at risk.
Unless the government wants to spend millions of dollars and many months cleaning up the internet, I would suspect that all ads will remain on the internet forever. Now if they are willing to spend that kind of money and time on deleting every little thing about escorting, the advertising part of the law is going to be hard to enforce unless it is so very blatant that it can't be missed. Just type in a number, a name and/or the words escort with city and all past advertising will pop up on the screen.
I imagine it won't be that case for long. Only long time members will have access. Fred and his group are already considering moving the site to a server out of the country.
TERB will go underground.
Dechert said during the interview that one of the intents of this is to eliminate newspaper advertising for sexual services.
The Newspapers and media will challenge it, stating it's unconstitutional. Hopefully soon.
Indeed, the media and talkradio have mostly been condemning this stupid, draconian bill since it came out yesterday.

I may not be as informed as I should be but I find this bill laughable. The most frequent users of SPs are MPs, will Ottawa be exempt from this law? That city is an excruciatingly dull place to be stuck in. Without SPs, MPs will be tearing their hair and eyes out with boredom. If this law is rigidly enforced expect Pier 6 brawls in the House of Commons.
Do these idiots understand the Pandora's Box they are opening up? Apparently Sweden's reactionary prostitution laws isn't working well for Swedish women:

Wouldn't the simplest solution be the Italian model - make sex work part of the GDP?

I just met an SP today who told me that exact truth. Politicians frequented her when she toured Ottawa I was like what? no way.
ROTFLMAO!
Politicians in Ottawa have been frequenting SP's since Lord Durham ran the place.
A word to anyone who wants to hobby in Italy, although I've never done so myself. If you negotiate service, do the deed then decide not to pay, you will be charged with rape and prosecuted accordingly. So behave yourself.

Maybe this bill is used to catch Liberal and NDP MPs in the act. We'll see when first MP to get caught and if it's Liberal or NDP. Perhaps that's the Conservatives agenda.
So it comes down to if the police will enforce the law once the bill is passed. What we need is Rob Ford Re-Elected to cut the police budget (save tax payers money) so LE will have limited resources to run stings and raids.

Stephen Harper is a cold distant emotionless man.
No wonder his wife left him during the Calgary Olympics for another woman

LOL! I'll bet Mackay's not getting any either, so he introduced this bill so we could share his pain!
They will do what they have always done: run sweeps a couple of times a year, catch thirty or forty guys, make a big media production about it. Sucks if you are one of the thirty or forty guys.
And don't think you are immune just because you use a discrete agency or independent. They can easily raid the condo a well reviewed SP is working from, then arrest all her appointments one by one as they show up for the rest of the evening. They just book as her first client of the day to get into her unit and then arrest the rest as they show up.
Will they do that constantly? No. Just often enough to get into the papers a couple times a year.
You as an escort won't be prosecuted, but the person hosting your ad will be. Think you could have a website hosted it in the US but you could have a hard time promoting it anywhere in Canada.
It seems they have basically put prostitution in the same category as drug sales, except the escorts/victims won't be charged. No one is going to run an ad promoting drug sales, could become the same for escort services. Drugs are still sold, just not openly on the internet or in print.
Is this change in the law being discussed on the US boards?
