Interesting thread. Yes it is no secret that all the major agencies have gotten together along with some lawyers and had a meeting regarding Communist 36. I wont get into the details of our meeting , all i can say is that it was interesting and productive.
Some things that i may add is that i have operated agencies in the states were it is ultra illegal on all ends and it was and still is busier than hell. You just need to operate differently and smarter.
Running incalls and living off the avails and even being found in a bawdyhouse HAS ALWAYS BEEN ILLEGAL in Canada, but there was an understanding that as long as the girls were not exploited, trafficed and of legal age they left us alone. We have had visits from Police Services in the past, they come in, have a chat with the girl, see that she is happy, safe, of age and they are on their way. Believe it or not, they even called and told us that they were going to speak to that specific girl at a specific time.
Escort agencies such as ours have worked very closely to keep our industry as clean as possible and most importantly, as safe as possible for the girls. Ultimately, this is what law enforcement care about.
In the past our agency has worked closely with law enforcement on two separate occassions to rid a couple of girls that we found out were pimped here. We called the police, arrested the pimps via SWAT TEAM, one who was also wanted for armed robbery in another province, all while having my families and my life threatened. The girls have left the industry.
We along with some other agencies get regular emails from law enforcement regarding run away or missing girls.
We get pictures sent to us regarding violent johns to post in our incall locations to warn the girls.
And the kicker of all kickers, THIS AGENCY HAS HAD GIRLS WORKING ON THEIR OWN, REFERRED TO US BY THE POLICE SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT. The police PREFER that girls work for a reputable agency, rather than on the streets or on their own. SAFETY
My agency in Saskatchewan is licensed, and so are the girls. Read the article from the Saskatoon newspaper, ( its in another thread) where they claim to have the best system around. Law enforcement loves it.
IMHO, this will be handled jurisdiction by jurisdiction and the focus will be on EXPLOITATION, HUMAN TRAFFICING and UNDER AGED GIRLS, as it always has been.
Ontario has a new MAJORITY LIBERAL government and has a Homosexual (DYKE) as premier, who i am sure remembers what she has gone through on similar issues. Federal laws are enforced by the provinces, and they wont waste their budgets on stuff that they know is unpopular with the public (as in poll after poll on the subject ), and knowing damn well this is going straight back the the Supremes.
One of our regular clients who is in a wheel chair has told me, once this law passes, he will book an escort, call a TV news crew to his house, and call the police that he is now about to break this irrational, Taliban style law. True story.
The sky isnt falling folks, i think things will cool off for a bit, and once all see that the earth is still revolving, things will slowly get back to normal. As a note, all the girls that have ever worked at this agency, were and are independent contractors that come and go from across Canada as they please. They are treated with compassion, humanity, respect.... work as much or as little as they want.......... when they want ........and have the right to refuse any client at any time with no questions asked. Happy Hobbying
