It isn't completely legal... Yet. I have respect for those around me... Do you think a family on holiday wants to know that a working girl is in the next room??
Client announces to public he is here to see an escort

Priyarai, entirely agree with Rockslinger on this. It is known as discresion.
In the same way Rebecca introducing herself at a cocktail party as a lawyer rather than as an Assistant Attorney General in the White Collar Crime Section.
It isn't completely legal??? help me out here - just what aspect of the escort industry in canada is still illegal? i think that last court decision made things pretty clear.
And, as for the other point regarding respecting those around you, let's analyze that too. A perfectly legal business transaction is taking place in the next room. Would you need the show the same respect if you were selling diamonds in the next room or furs or costumes?? Of course not - so I come back to my original point. As SPs, we buy into the shame that society associates with sex - pure and simple. And, as for two people having sex in the next room to the family - I bet the people on the other side of them are having sex, too - what's the big deal??

The ruling had a 12 month stay to allow regulations to be implemented... Meaning it isn't legal... Yet
Monique is correct. The 12 month stay means that the current laws are still in effect, even though the Ontario Court of Appeal ruling over-turned two of the prostitution laws. As far as I know, it hasn't gone before the Supreme Court of Canada. It was up to the Ontario government as to whether or not they wanted appeal the ruling.
So, as it stands:
It is legal to provide sex for pay.
It is legal to pay for sex.
It is legal for an out-call for paid sex.
If an in-call location provides pay for sex services for more than one client, then it is considered a bawdy house and is NOT legal... yet. Regardless of whether said location is your personal dwelling or hotel room. This also means that landlords/hotels are also liable and may also be charged for the activities occurring on their premises.
If an in-call location is deemed a bawdy house, then asterwald's remarks about not wanting cops or trouble is valid since it is illegal to even be found at the a 'bawdy house'.
It will be still be illegal to have communication in a public place for the purposes of prostitution. With my understanding then, the client who blurted his intentions in public could very well have been charged!! I'm not sure of whether telling the front desk that you're using one of their rooms for an in-call constitutes 'communicating in a public place for the purposes of prostitution' or not.

And writing an NSF check is illegal, too. While your point is technically correct my Canadian friends tell me that the police gave up long ago enforcing the bawdy house laws unless there is some evidence of force, coercion, human trafficking, etc. The individual sp renting a hotel room is way off of law enforcement's radar. Let's put it this way. The law is "in force", it's just not "enforced".
But why be blatant about why not just be courteous of those around you? It's not a matter of being ashamed of what I do... It's a matter of respecting other people... Why flaunt what you do if there's a possibility it will offend someone?
Agreed. Legalities aside, there's something to be said about discretion and manners in polite company. Monique is a classy lady.
I was simply clearing up which aspects of of the escort industry are still illegal as requested by yourself. Just because some laws may not be enforced does not mean its legal. That said, I highly doubt law enforcement will turn a blind eye to 'communicating in public for the purposes of prostitution' since that aspect of the of the law was upheld.
Yes.writing an NSF cheque is.illeal....and if you think nobody ever was prosecuted for it you are a loonie tune. Oh and those canadian friends of yours...are turds.
They are?? Okay, maybe you could post some links to news articles of the bawdy house laws being enforced. You know the press would be all over it.
