Fuck you Mackay, because no "Johns" should be charged anyways and nobody agrees with your dipshit bill so go fuck yourself.

The race is on! Which will happen first, a john charged in Ontario or Sun News Network sold/closed down.

Maybe they are waiting for us to relax so they can nail a larger group.

nobody is waiting for anything. There must be sufficient evidence to lay charges. And how do u see this specific "purchase for consideration" being enforced? C36 has never been thought through and is unconstitutional. hopefully it gets back to the Supreme Court soon.

The Injustice Minister mentions funding to help prostitutes exit the industry, which is a drop in the bucket if they were truly serious about helping all prostitutes.

The other aspect is that many prostitutes are content doing what they are doing, but the Conservatives feel they are morally superior by imposing a law that judges prostitutes or johns, and restricts their freedom, when no harm is done to themselves or society at large.

It would probably be better if this wasn't reported in the news. You get the feeling that someone in some Ontario police department is holding up this article saying they need to do something about it.

I thought about that too.

If it sounds like they're not doing their job, they might want to charge anyone just to show that they are.

Somebody at the police department is holding the article and thinks:" Great, now that we have tools to fight crimes like Human Trafficking, we are supposed to drop it and go chase Johns"

What a coincidence And I hear they are frustrated over decreased revenue from advertising.
I was actually wondering if there has been at least one case in Canada where a client has been charged in some undercover in-call or street operation. I have been waiting to read something like this in the news. But nope... Which is definitely good news.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but with Baird leaving office, the odds of Mackay taking the reigns after Harper have increased.

I thought I read that some LE out-west did charge some johns recently during some street-sweeps, but of course this would not have been any different with or without C36.

However as a taxpayer, I would sincerely hope that the Ontario LE community takes the same approach as Vancouver - and focus their efforts on helping those in true distress (trafficking, underage, etc) using the pre-existing laws, and not waste their time persecuting consenting adults for engaging in harmless activities behind close doors.

Yup, evangelicals, and the hard-left progressive "all sex is rape" radical feminist progressive crowd (see Sweden) also. And we are caught in the middle.

oh the irony...

Saw a comment in the paper the other day (can't remember where or when) that quoted a high ranking officer with the Durham Regional Police that commented favourably on Bill C-36 because it gave them better tools than the previous legislation to do the job police forces should be doing, rescuing the young women who are being trafficked and putting the pimps in jail where they belong. I believe that article contained a recognition that there are many SP's who are in the business of their own choosing. He certainly didn't sound like Durham Police have a hard on for harassing the johns frequenting these SP's.
