Toronto Star Feature on Holistic Centres

No police website would say that... unless it was completely wrong and misleading.

What? Section 213 is the one about public communicating. It has nothing to do with massage parlours.

Do you mean Section 210? That is the one on keeping a common bawdy house.

bawdy house defined in Section 197(1)

Anyone who says:

has it wrong. If that's on a police force's website, then that police force is incredibly ignorant. It's also misleading because it tells people they can do anything in a massage room without breaking the law. They could be charged with being an inmate of a common bawdy-house or being found in a common bawdy-house.

If they are offering hand jobs, that's enough of a sexual activity for the moniker to fit, like it or not.

They're being paid for sexual services, even if they stay with "merely" giving guys hand jobs and letting the guys massage their naughty bits, as opposed to heading the whole way to penetration. They're certainly "sex workers," and the line distinguishing them from "full service" prostitutes is as nebulous as the clothing they're barely wearing.

Clinton played word games to evade certain aspects of Congressional censure; the things he did with Lewinsky were plenty enough to be considered "sexual misconduct" by his wife and by things like employment law despite not going "all the way" to penetration.

Uhhh... It's really not that complicated, you know.

213 is about public communicating, usually street prostitution. It would be pretty rare for any charges involving a MP to be 213.

If it's the Edmonton site referred to in this thread
http://www.massageplanet.net.ca/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=84256

on here,
http://www.police.edmonton.ab.ca/Pages/Prostitution/PublicInfo/legal2.htm
it does NOT say "If all acts are done in a massage room, no illegal activity has occurred." It says



Of course it does.
Massage parlours get charged with bawdy-house violations (210). See
http://www.massageplanet.net.ca/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=82535&highlight=bawdy+house or
http://www.massageplanet.net.ca/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=84786&highlight=bawdy+house%2A

The people in those massage parlours were charged with being inmates or found-ins of a common bawdy-house under 210.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, Maybe the holistic studio's should boycott the Star and Eye Weekly, it seems to be, they are biting the hand that feeds them, in a small way. Why give revenue to a company that makes an effort to hurt the businesses that support them? At least for now there is NOW Magazine to promote the business as a possible replacement .

there is no way that girl goes home with $500 a day unless she's doing extras. as MPAs all know......a $500 day is a GOOD day it doesn't happen very often

That division (52) is already corrupted
