It’s not a matter of whether Toronto will one day get a red light district.
Toronto is a red light district. “We are, the City of Toronto, the biggest pimp in North America,” Coun. Giorgio Mammoliti declared Tuesday. Toronto provides licences for exotic dancers, massage therapists and to some body rub establishments and strip clubs. “And we hand out these licences without ever asking one question,” said the York West (Ward 7) councillor.
There’s big money in sex — and finally the city is starting to think about how to get in on the action while at the same time keeping a better eye on regulating the industry.
It just makes no sense for this to continue without the city capitalizing on the tax revenue from it, as well as to regulate it to make sure it’s a safe environment for those who work in it and those who visit,” said Mammoliti.
You want to see a red light district? Go to any strip mall in any neighbourhood and you will find a de facto brothel in the form of a massage parlour. Look in the back of any newspaper. Same goes for the Internet!
Go to many condo or apartment buildings and you’ll find bordellos operating openly. Some swingers clubs, saunas, strip clubs and escort services are also along for the multi-million-dollar ride.
