mod 135640 Report post Posted April 29, 2013 It means they purchased the 4000.00+ year cash grab from the city and agreed to follow all the license rules for "Escorts" (SEE BYLAW HERE: http://www.winnipeg.ca/cms/license_branch/pdfs/ESCORTS%20ESCORT%20AGENCIES.pdf) this by NO MEANS makes them a legal prostitution business. The city clearly defines "Escort" as very different from "PROSTITUTE" so don't get this confused! Basically the city tries to trick prostitutes into thinking they need a license where it is actually ILLEGAL under canadian law to license prostitution but because we use the more polite word "escort" the city sees this as an opportunity to abuse the laws and exploit this word in favor. Anyone caught advertising as a "Escort" in the city is scared into leaving or scared into paying for this license... where if in the ad they say "I am not a escort I am a callgirl" or "I am a courtesan" or "I am a prostitute" the city does NOT have a leg to stand in. Now, the license has NOTHING to do with criminal law either. It is a municipal infraction (Like a parking ticket) and the worst they can do is send a collection agency after you to pay your ticket... but they have been known to use police instead of regular bylaw officers to do this dirty work so it really scares the crap out of the ladies who don't know the laws as good as they should. Anyway... as you can see I hate that Winnipeg gets away with this exploitation and if the laws in canada change this year I am afraid cities like Winnipeg once they are allowed to license prostitution will take FULL advantage of it and make the by-laws just horrible. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A well respected independent is better than ANY Winnipeg agency. Don't waste your money on someone who does nothing but handle a phone while some lady is working hard to earn hers. Additional Comments: 4000.00+ year cash grab from the city Meanwhile the mayor's incompetent pal walks away with a golden parachute worth a hundred times that (rumoured to be $445,000) despite costing the city tens of millions in screwups. No police investigation, no public outcry...but God forbid we should have an unlicensed escort running around. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
