I suspect that the police are out to minimize the trade for the Grand Prix. This event brings in ladies from all over, trying to make a few bucks.
i 100% aggree. Disgraceful police practice, entrapment leading to shaming clients who are probably just lonely and/or horny guys...these are not the people who are a menace to society...there are so many more real problemsIf they were doing this for human trafficking, they would go after the pimps rather than the clients. They are not targeting vulnerable women; rather, they are targeting vulnerable clients who have just received their paycheck. It's a disgrace for the city of Montreal.It's more like entrapment. They are offering counsel and a program because they know that with a good lawyer, the prosecutors will have no case.
every year for the last 10 years it has been the same thing. Around Grand Prix time some politicians/police forces throw the abolitionnist a bone...its patheticI suspect that the police are out to minimize the trade for the Grand Prix. This event brings in ladies from all over, trying to make a few bucks.
That's a myth propagated by the anti-prostitution forces such as CLES and their allies in government. First, there is no reasonably priced place to stay for "ladies from all over." Any decent hotel room within shouting distance of the city charges astronomical rates for F1 weekend and rooms need to be prepaid in full months in advance. The logistics of booking a hotel and finding clients who are staying in town for only 2-4 nights mean that it is just not worth it for outside escorts to come into town. There are much better times to visit....This event brings in ladies from all over, trying to make a few bucks.
Il y a deux certitudes dans la vie l'impôt et la mort
Pour un homme le besoin d'assouvir ses pulsions
sexuelle fera en sorte que très jeune il va se rendre compte que l'argent est le meilleur moyen pour atteindre ses objectifs.
Le cirque de la f1 c'est des voitures, des jolies femmes et beaucoup de fric.
Le gouverne ment n'aime pas voir autant de transaction monétaire se passer sans son contrôle.
C'est plus facile de faire peur aux clients pour la police en menant des opérations semblables que de s'attaquer au proxénète.
Dsl les féministes mais moi mon expérience avec les escortes me porte à croire que la majorité le font pour une seule raison.
Un moyen de faire beaucoup d'argent
On the pictures you can see snow. So it was not recent.i just re-read the article and I don't see where it says this was 'months ago'...it just says the program was launched in May 2022...it says nothing about it being stopped or not-ongoing...or maybe i missed something![]()
You are not accurate. It is legal to offert... not legal to buy. In Montréal or anywhere in Québec province. Research...It actually is illegal to sell sex in Canada.
I know the article said otherwise, but laws can’t be drafted that way, and the asshole Mackay joyously said that Prostitution is Now Illegal in Canada once the law passed.
A country can’t make a group of persons legal or illegal. Laws deal with acts, not people.
The way the Nordic Model was passed was that the act of prostitution is illegal, but a grant of immunity from prosecution was granted to sellers of sex, and those performing acceptable services to the sellers of sex.
Purchasers of sex were not granted this immunity, nor were those persons associated with the sellers of sex whose activities are not within the defined scope of providing specified services to the sellers of sex.
The police in three specified jurisdictions, Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver announced a Prioritization Policy under which the purchasing of sex would be given the lowest arrest priority unless the seller of sex is a minor, violence/coercion appears to exist, or the circumstances disturbs the peace.
There kind of distinctions matter. Montreal is different than small communities outside of Montreal.
Even the airport matters. That is Federal Territory not covered by the Montreal Police. One credible poster claims to have been denied entry into Canada when he was selected for secondary inspection and a search of his phone revealed explicit text conversations with a Montreal escort agency.
The perfect search doesn't exist but doing the effort... you'll find out that miss Beauchamp is totally honest and these are my pointers I follow before seing any SP....Before booking a provider, especially during this “fear campaign” preceding F1, always do your research :
1. Have I seen this provider around before, or is this the very first time I notice their advertisement?
2. Where does that provider advertise? Are the websites where they advertise require verification about the provider prior to their advertisement being display on the website?
*Tips : Googling their working name + escort next to it will provide you with the maximum information about that provider
3. Are the picture of that provider a rip off of an other content creator?
*Tips : Taking a screenshot of the pictures of the provider and reverse searching them in google image can also give you the maximum information about them
4. What is the social media/internet presence of that provider?
*Tips : Website, Twitter, Instagram, Onlyfans....
5. Does that provider have any mention of them on any review board?
*Tips : Not all reliable providers are mentioned on review board, but asking around about them before contacting them can be a good idea
6. Where does that provider carter their services? Laval? Montreal? Longueuil? For now, such as mentioned in the article, only the police department of Longueuil is taking place in this operation but this can change any minute
7. Does that provider require screening?
Ethical meeting in this industry for sure has it's price, such as previously mentioned many time on this forum. But sticking to reputable websites such as Merb, Tryst & Indy Companion and contacting providers with a decent internet presence (website & Twitter) will definitely avoid unpleasant surprises. Luckily no one was charged in this "operation" on a criminal level, the police department of Longueuil offers "education" which must probably consist of victimizing every single sex worker out there. Please, remember gents, we are not all victims and a lot of us truly enjoy what we do and wish to keep doing it in a safe environment ❤️
He's now the police director of Montréal!F1 is without any doubt a yearly determining factor in this media scare tactic.
I would add that this going down in Longueuil is not necessarily a coincidence. Their police Director is extremely present on public media and there is even a television series on them called "Police Avant Gardist".
Pre F1 I would certainly shy away from unkown providers in this region where LE seem very eager for media coverage.
That's the perfect description of ethical meeting ❤️And promotion of healthy, and "professional" sex certainly boosts joie de vivre!
It is the worst law because it attacks the clients. Since Bill C-36 the amount of scams on Leolist type websites went to an all time high. The girls know they can get away with it because the law protects them but attacks the men.And in many ways, c-36 isn’t entirely bad.
The best scenario is an unregulated sex industry. The intense active busting of prostitution like in the US is the worst situation of all.If something is truly legal, it gets regulated and zoned.
When I say unregulated, I meant for it to be not illegal in other words you will not be sent to jail or criminally prosecuted for booking an escort or for common bawdy houses to operate without police busting on them. I meant no active police interventions to bust on sex work activities. Perfect places of the best model are like in the Dominican Republic, Brazil,Thailand, etc... So for it to be legal but not regulated by the government.Isn’t that how an unregulated industry is supposed to work? We can go on Merb, do review and read reviews, and decide who to see.
Or go on LeoList and take the chance of something undesirable or even terrible happening in order to save $20 to $50.
If there are negative legal or regulatory consequences to LeoList scams, then those same laws or regulations would need to apply to ladies advertising an being reviewed on Merb.
Basically this feels like storyline that would be on The Wire. Such careerism.A lot of opinions were made on this. And let me bring my view. Yes the légal challenge led to this new model beign adopted. At first everyone said nothing would happen. And then, something finally happened. Carreerism. The Agent pictured wants a promotion, some exposure, where can he go? Drugs ?, mmmm dangerous, financial crime? Kinda complicated, car theft? mmm happens at night and i like to sleep. Wait a minute! I'll do a John school! Pretty easy to catch flies with honey! And no one is gonna say no we are against it so I'll become sargent quick. Then I go province wide and I'll be captain! Without risking my life. Ah finally I can boost the amount of my pension!! Everyone who has worked in the goverment knows those people. Might not be the agent, might be his boss. But somewhere someone is seeking an easy career path out of this. Those of you who have businesses know the type.
Bunny Colvin's Hamsterdam! Great analogy.There was an episode of the Wire where a well-meaning policeman legalized drugs in a neighborhood in Baltimore. It didn’t go exactly as he thought it would, although it had pros and cons. He asked the liberal clergyman who was running a needle exchange program in the midst of drug deals and blowjobs being given in exchange for drugs what he thought of the situation,, and the clergyman said There isn’t a word for what you have going on in there, detective.
That article wasn’t surprising to an American. Contrary to the nonsense often posted on Merb about the American scene, it is actually very well organized in terms of law enforcement. Ladies who work independently (and ladies working for small boutique agencies in friendly jurisdictions) who screen their customers, and the customers who accept that screening, are simply left alone by law enforcement. The arrests come from stings of Johns who respond to fake mass classified ads, and of ladies who don’t screen. There is federal law enforcement action against agencies that operate in multiple states, but that doesn’t involve the sex workers or the Johns.
We are used to sacrifices in the U.S. Not work hard type sacrifices. I mean the uninformed being arrested to satisfy Vice Squad quotas and politicians.
When Canadians see Human Sacrifices, they recoil in horror. Same with homelessness, but I don’t want to digress.
This is where I get confused. Canada has been very open about all of this. They passed a law making prostitution illegal. The law has a quirk in which the seller of sex is not subject to arrest or prosecution. The police in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver announced a prioritization policy for those specific areas where the arrest of a purchaser of sex is given the lowest possible prioritization as long as no minors or violence/coercion exists.
This isn’t that difficult. Don’t do this activity outside of large Canadian cities. No suburbs. Get on the bus, Gus, and go to a Protected Area. Even within the Protected Areas, try to avoid minors or pimped-out ladies. Not hard to do. The independents, agencies and massage parlors advertising on Merb, Terb and Perb have no minors or pimped-out ladies. You don’t get that guarantee on LeoList.
The suburbs don’t want this activity. Perhaps they think by allowing it they will end up like the neighborhood described in the Wire. Hell, few, if any, of us want a legalized and regulated system where commercial sex occurs in brothels where the oral sex is CBJ only. Canada has a hell of a compromise system that keeps everyone happy. We have been living with this type of system in the U.S. for a long time. Places like Arizona are no-go areas, where Vegas and NYC are much, much safer. An ad involving no screening and/or no way to check the history of the lady are a no-go. That is a hell of a lot more restrictive than Canada. Be happy with what Canada freely allows and don’t go behind enemy lines. But let’s not have too much of a pity party for those who do, and get in trouble (and it wasn’t big trouble, just the School for Johns). Montreal apparently will increase law enforcement activity during the Gran Prix. Still won’t really affect seeing ladies advertising on Merb, but they are letting you know to be a bit more cautious and discreet during that time. Actually nice of them to let everyone know.
The whole roadmap is laid out for us, in both the U.S. and Canada. It is even easier in Canada.
