Now That we Have Liberal Will C-36 be dept with

[Only see MILFS]

Hello Fellow brothers. Last year or so I have been so uptight. I do see a few select ladies. But the fear of the C-36 is always on my mind. Lets hope now with the new Government, This bill will be revised.
Anyone What do you all feel will happen.????

Give it a break to the paranoid ones. Liberals won so no worries they will only take your HST money.

Consider this..............as long as there is a demand there will be a supply

I think some may be forgetting that it is still legal to visit a lady who is offering her companionship/ time and NOT sex for sale and please correct me if I'm wrong.
Keep your conversations, while contacting companions, non-explicit and you should be fine. As far as the Liberals making a change...I'm not holding my breathe but I'm not worried about the current situation either. I believe the police in most jurisdictions, are more invested in investigating those connected to drugs and underage, consenting adults present little problems for them, so many are turning a blind eye and rightfully so.

While it would be received as just another tax.................Licensing would be the best alternative to lead towards legitimizing the hobby

I'm not sure about that Papa, perhaps those who live in cities where licenses were necessary would be better at discussing that. I've not an opinion yet, as to whether or not licensing would be a good or bad thing

Seems you have given it some thought.

If they didn't do anything before they won't do anything now.

Makes sense.

I saw Sophia a few days ago again and woke up io my own bed.

Get real and stop assuming what the gov will do to you. A waste of time.

We shouldn't make such a big deal out of C-36. It came into effect last year, but nothing has really changed except for a few minor protocols when advertising and the such.

Except for for minors and trafficking, prostitution is not a priority for governments unless we bring the government's attention to it. C-36 came about because the court was asked to look at the law. They ruled it unconstitutional and brought the Conservatives attention to it. This effectively woke up the dog who then attacked prostitution with the new law.

Now this is being brought to attention again. I assume it is that because people think that the liberals are not evil and will overturn the current laws. Even for liberals, prostitution is not high on their priority list. Issues such as the economy, security and environment are more inportant. But if we insist on shining the spotlight on prostitution, the liberals will have to look at the issue and like all governments, will act in a manner that will please the majority and inconvenience the minority because re-election is also a priority.

So let sleeping does lie, participate in this hobby with discretion and respect, and you will be fine.

Anyone who wants to stay informed can read the C-36 thread that reverdy and I try to keep updated. It's in the forum located underneath the Lobby.

In reality, there are stings and arrests happening in cities all across the country.

PIVOT Legal Society is ready to go to court to get C-36 repealed.

I am with Kirk that a reform of C-36 is probably not going to be high on Trudeau's list of priorities - especially after having been portrayed in the last leg of the campaign by the Conservatives as being ready to let brothels open pretty much anywhere.

Already the Liberals had taken a very cautious approach in terms of where they stand on the issue: they voted against C-36 because they didn't believe it followed the spirit of the Bedford decision, but they certainly haven't said that they were in favour of decriminalization or legalization.

They were supposed to discuss a proposition to legalize prostitution at their convention in 2014, but this was removed at the last minute as Trudeau had expressed that he felt "prostitution is a form of violence against women."

Even if a court challenge is successful, I believe where changes might be happening would be the sections regarding advertising, etc., which directly impede the ability of the ladies to work safely.

The sections which criminalize the purchase of sexual services would need to be demonstrated to be just as detrimental to the ladies' safety in order to be found unconstitutional. The body of evidence to demonstrate this before the Courts is lacking at the moment. There is a fair amount of evidence in other countries, Sweden for instance, but not so much in Canada. I believe there is research being done on the subject currently, but it's going to take a while before any of this gets disseminated.

In the meantime, and even though LE by and large has only focused its attention so far on the most problematic issues (street sex work, underage, trafficking, pimping), I agree with Kirk's suggestion that clients should "hobby" judiciously and discretely.
