Possible crackdown on incalls

[Cookies N Scream]

They are just scared because of the Charter Challenge, and the huge support of Canadians who are pro-decriminalization of sex work.

They are either going to try using the Swedish model and criminalize all the clients, or they are going to pass ridiculous bills so they can harass bawdy houses.

This is not about the Charter challenge, and in fact not even about prostitution. While it may have been bundled up with it, this was all motivated by some pretty high profile crack houses in Hintonburg.

Ummm a condo is a "residential area". I don't think it would fly at all in a smaller condo building like mine,

There are worst neighbours than a discreet incall. Just ask the people who live near St. Joseph Hospital, the noise (including sirens), the traffic at all time of the day and night and now smokers blowing smoke in their children's faces and discarding butts on their lawns. (P.S. I use to live across the street from an elementary school. Ever hear 1,000 kids at recess and a few of them banging on metal garbage cans? Also, the traffic when their parents drop them off and pick them up.)

It's a private members bill. Odds are it won't go anywhere. Anyhow, I'd be more worried next year when municipal elections will be held.

Smitherman is a sexual liberal. Not sure about John Tory. Actually, I think Toronto is a fairly sexually liberated city. I wouldn't want to live in York Region though. That yo yo MPP who tabled the private member bill is from Ottawa Centre.

Oops. I guess the cat is out of the bag now. It was a well kept secret that there are incalls in Toronto. I'm such an idiot. Mods, can you ban me please?

Im not suggesting this is recent news. But the police are looking for new sources of revenue for city coffers. My point, and I did have one is, there will be no shortage of busts.

 

[canada-man]

so lets campaign for Smitherman then? since he obviously support sexual freedoms

...

Cheri DiNovo, the NDP member for Toronto's Parkdale-High Park riding, is vowing to stop the bill, which she says violates tenants' rights and unfairly targets the most vulnerable.
'Criminals don't target rich neighbourhoods'
...

I'm sure the residents of Cheri's riding will be pleased with her point of view.

Personally, I don't see what the big deal is about... an incall.

Uhhhhhhhhhhh, it's illegal

Licensing

They just hammered the ladies here in Edmonton to the tune of 134,000$ dollars for not being licensed to"escort".All levels of goverments are looking for ways to make money.Doing a crackdown is a fairly simple way.
