Vern White urges Senate to study Canada's prostitution laws

Recommended Posts

I am not that impressed by the stats. It takes 10 sweeps to pick up just over 100 men. It seems like such a huge waste of time, when the charges have nothing to do with the legal prostitution, and only to do with how and where they were trying to connect with the sp. Had the sp been indoors and the guys made phone calls, none of those 117 would have seen a police officer.

 

Because even tho the majority of the socalled crimes (incalls) go on indoors, they still focus on the street work. If they make street work illegal, completely, that would probably satisfy the police, and the NIMBY types, because everything else about the sex trade is indoors, out of sight out of mind.

 

 

If the nordic model even went into place, they aren't going to be any more able to enforce it than they do now, unless they continue to focus only on street work. The only reason they like it is because they can continue to use it against the sps who work on the streets by making it impossible for them to make money, by driving away their clients. That is usually the goal of anything anti sex work.

 

And that worked so well since the 80's when they brought in the public solicitation laws, which imo are pretty much the same thing as nordic. The fact that Ottawa stopped charging the sps doing street work is irrelevant to me.

 

And it still astonishes me that this guy, who pretends to know what he's talking about, doesn't know the government already did an indepth study of prostitution in Canada, and after studying it, they did NOT decide to bring in the Nordic model of laws.
