A long text and they don't even state the most obvious fact: a difference in the number of ads does not mean a difference in the number of providers.

The law for exploitation of minors was not challenged so that one is the same law. Material benefits is just a rephrasing of the old one. The only charge under a really new provision is advertisement. In fact since it's a minor the madame would be arrested even if prostitution was legal.

If you have adult male organs and identify as male then you're a real man and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. True men/women, it's just something people use to shame others into behaving like they think they should. This is a kind of logical fallacy, usually called the ''No True...

Recent paper in the Globe and Mail a few days ago: Trudeau urges ‘evidence-based approach’ on marijuana, prostitution laws ''Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau is hinting he’d repeal the Conservatives’ controversial prostitution legislation, as he and NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair vie to be the favoured...

You don't have to be on the staff to ''be Charlie''. Anyone who reads and enjoys the paper is a part of it and as much a ''blasphemer''. People are defending their right to have access to that kind of satire. Maybe the terrorists should start to ''target demand'' and see if that works better?

Mon point était que ce ne sont pas des immigrants. Des musulmans il y en a dans tous les pays depuis plusieurs générations, alors les terroristes peuvent recruiter ou convertir des mécontents n'importe ou.

Sincères condoléances à tous ceux qui sont touchés par la tragédie. Et bravo à tous les journaux qui publient les caricatures. http://sergeantpeppertimes.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/blasphc3a9mateur.png Les deux tireurs sont Français. Avec l'Internet et les technologies, les frontières ne...

One wonders why they do not simply use the laws that make it illegal to exploit someone. Often it's hard to get evidence of exploitation, so they can fall back on prostitution laws to make an easier arrest. The problem, is that if they do not have convincing proof of exploitation, how do they...

I'm a Level 12 Disillusionist.

On peut voir cela comme une forme de screening supplémentaire, des deux côtés de la transaction. Les escortes qui chargent le double ne sont pas nécessairement plus intéressantes et les clients qui peuvent payer le double du prix ne sont pas tous plus gentlemen que ceux qui ont moins d'argent...

Not that sure about this. If people buy less cars, manufacturers will start to produce less cars but that's not true for sex work. Women have a non-limiting supply of sex that doesn't cost them anything to produce. For most escorts, this is still the best way to make good money even with a...

Reste à savoir ce que ce 10% est supposé vouloir dire. C'est vrai que la grande majorité des travailleuses du sexe ne sont pas complètement indépendante. La majorité travaille avec une agence, un salon de massage, etc. Dire qu'il y a 10% d'indépendante ne veut pas dire qu'il y a 90%...

For those who wonder how close ''near a school'' means: 11 people were arrested in Memphis for prostitution ''near a school''. They were within a mile and a half (2.4 Km), though apparently, the statute of their law says it should be within 100 feet for that offense (0.009 Km). That's in the US...

''A Year Later'' Maggie McNeill talking about us on her blog: http://maggiemcneill.wordpress.com/2014/12/19/a-year-later/

I agree completely. What I was trying to say is that if they agree to testify at all, it will most likely be in the favor of their clients. This can make prosecutions of clients even more difficult. The escort will not only refuse to cooperate with the police but she could cooperate with the...

I don't know much about how testimonies work, but in that case does the escort's testimony ''belongs'' to the crown? As I see it, even if the crown does not call her as a witness, the defense could. I could pay the time of my attorney to coach her to testify for my side. A good pep talk and some...

However, my opinion is that it would be illegal and unethical to do this. In the present case we are talking about threatening someone who is just an innocent witness according to the law. It is different when they make a deal with a real criminal to get some bigger fish; that is an acceptable...

From the blog of Miss Bedford. It's supposed to be some Editorial from the Globe and Mail, but I can't find the original link online. http://blog.terrijeanbedford.com/2014/12/14/prostitution-lawmr-harpers-unenforceable-act/ Globe and Mail Lead Editorial December 12, 2014 Prostitution Law Mr...

What this section means is that prostitutes cannot be held responsible for inducing someone to break the law. ''Accessory after the fact'' is a legal term for someone who helps a criminal avoid being arrested after his crime. So the sex worker cannot be charged for helping her client avoid the...

What, why me? I know nothing I swear. Seriously, my understanding is that any lawyer (defense or prosecutor) can subpoena a witness and they are obligated to appear. In reality, someone else here or on TERB (I forgot) explained that prosecutors will not force a prostitute to testify against her...
