Toronto Escorts In The News!

The two lunkheads are older but not necessarily wiser. âœKnowledge of non-knowledge is powerâ is one of dozens of ridiculous lines spouted by our Pilsner-drinking philosophers on their latest round of adventures, which include accidentally torching their house, laying pipe with their surly, drug-addled pal Tron, sleeping with the same woman, and shopping at West Edmonton Mall.
But this wouldnât be a Fubar film without another testicular cancer scare, Deanâs continued attempts at rock ânâ roll stardom, and a few moments of redemption. Terry falls in love with Trish, a waitress at a Fort Mac strip club, and Dean tries to convince his daughter, Chastity, that heâs not a total loser as a father. All this â and more â happens in the span of 90 minutes, most of which actors Paul Spence and Dave Lawrence improvised on set, as they did with their first flick.

When American interest about a possible sequel first trickled in, Dowse thought about how he could develop the concept into a more mainstream project. But he ultimately decided to remain true to the characters, who could never, ever, blend in in Los Angeles.
“We had a bunch of crazy ideas, we were pretty young and there was interest from the States so we were all like, ‘Let’s do this!’” he said during a recent interview at the Toronto International Film Festival.
“And that all just fell apart, we were like, ‘That’s not the right thing to do.’ It was never that serious but it was one of the things we’d talked about when we first started thinking about doing the sequel.”
The actual plot line for “Fubar II” involves Terry and Dean moving to Fort McMurray, Alta., looking to make fast cash in the oil industry. They’re soon presented with more money and credit then they’ve ever had before and waste no time spending it on booze and strippers.

THE FRONT
F-35 buys a whole lot of housing >> Alt energy from Tremblant to Montreal >> Missing Justice remember prostitutes and land grabs >> Sense Project goes back to school
QUOTE OF THE WEEK:
“We got everything. We did it!” —Alan Young, a Toronto lawyer representing three sex workers challenging Ontario’s prostitution law. An Ontario judge agreed with Young on Tuesday that the law placed women’s lives in danger, a ruling that effectively strikes the law down. If upheld on appeal, the ruling will affect prostitution laws across the country.
Housing flies away
That F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter jet that the Harper government is buying—to the tune of $9-billion, with an equal amount set aside for maintenance—sure is a nifty bit of kit. Controver­sial too: critics say its weapons payload is too small, and its thrust-to-weight ratio makes it less manoeuvrable than its expected rivals, notably the Russian-made Sukhoi. And then there’s the cost, which social housing advocates say could probably pay for 3,500 units of social housing. So social housing advocates FRAPRU will be paying a visit to the local branch of the F-35’s maker, Lockheed Martin, today, Thursday, Sept. 30.

We should have known our prostitution laws were out of date.
…
What seems to surprise a lot of people is that a prostitute has rights the same as everyone else. Their thinking seems to be that rights only exist to protect the people we like.
The judge sensibly allowed a 30-day grace period before her ruling comes into effect, so we’re not likely to see bawdy house grand openings and wide-open prostitution across Canada right away. The grace period almost certainly will be extended pending the disposition of appeals, which could take months.
…
There is nothing in her ruling, Justice Himel says, to prevent legislative authorities from drawing up new prostitution laws that do pass constitutional muster. What those laws might look like is anyone’s guess. Among the proposed alternatives is the Swedish approach, where it is illegal not to offer sexual services for money, but to buy them. The idea is to discourage those who would exploit prostitutes. But wouldn’t that just drive the trade back into the shadows?

Sun, however, flat out disagrees with the moratorium. “The main complaints of noise, parking and rowdy behaviour – those problems persist today. I would address the problems by using the noise bylaw and ask officers to do patrols particularly on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.” So residents would love to have more bars balanced with roving cop patrols? That sure sounds like the current Entertainment District.
But back to the lefty split. The last thing anyone wants here is an even vote division between the two, thereby opening some up-the-middle space for a big question mark.
Enter the right leaning Sean McCormick.
“One word: change,” is how the former Sportsnet sportscaster responds when asked to distill himself for the voting public.
McCormack brings up the Liberty Village pedestrian bridge as his transit gem. He discounts talk of a Downtown Relief Line as “pie-in-the-sky”. 
The slick, well-heeled handsome TV-man does plant some more nuggets in the debate. He paints Ossington from five years ago as a “no-fly zone”. “Prostitution, drug dealing, crime – it was all part and parcel of the bars that were littering the area,” he says.

Federal government to appeal prostitution ruling
…
Former prostitute against ruling
A former sex-trade worker who now helps prostitutes trying to leave the trade, says the court’s decision to strike down Canada’s laws surrounding prostitution was a terrible move.
…
Those who wanted the laws to be quashed say they forced hookers to work the streets, instead of in the safety of their homes. But Falle says decriminalizing all aspects of prostitution is not the solution.
“I don’t think Canadians understand what this means. This means, if this decision is to carry through… your next door neighbours can run a brothel right beside you. Your children could be exposed to condoms left on their driveway, johns propositioning them,” she said.
…
Falle grew incensed at this, insisting that 97 per cent of prostitutes aren’t in the sex trade by choice. She says the voices of the overwhelming majority of women who want to get out of prostitution are being drowned out by a vocal few.

OTTAWA – The federal and Ontario governments say they will appeal a controversial court judgment that struck down Canada’s prostitution laws.
…
Bentley said the laws “protect people from being lured or coerced into prostitution, they protect people from being under domination of those who would prey, and they protect communities from the adverse effects of prostitution-related activities.”
Prostitution is not illegal in Canada, but an Ontario Superior Court judge court struck down three provisions that criminalized most aspects of it.
Justice Susan Himel ruled Tuesday that laws against keeping a common bawdy house, communicating for the purposes of prostitution, and living on the avails “are not in accord with the principles of fundamental justice.”
…
The governments will request that the appeal court stay the judge’s decision and allow the current prostitution laws to remain in effect until an appeal can be heard.

TORONTO – An Ontario Superior Court ruling that struck down Canada’s prostitution laws as unconstitutional should be appealed by the federal government, Premier Dalton McGuinty said Wednesday.
The Superior Court ruled that laws against keeping a common bawdy house, communicating for the purposes of prostitution and living on the avails “are not in accord with the principles of fundamental justice.”
…
Prostitution was not illegal in Canada, but the court struck down three provisions that criminalized most aspects of prostitution.

…
“It is imperative that Premier Dalton McGuinty and Prime Minister Stephen Harper act decisively to protect Canada from the scourge of legalized prostitution,” Charles McVety said in a statement.

McGuinty will support federal appeal of prostitution ruling
By The Canadian Press
Wed, Sep 29 – 11:11 AM
TORONTO — Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty says he would be
surprised if the federal government did not appeal a court ruling
striking down Canada’s prostitution laws.
The Ontario Superior Court ruled that laws against keeping a
common bawdy house, communicating for the purposes of prostitution
and living on the avails of the trade put sex-trade workers in
danger.
…
He says Ottawa would “fight to ensure that the criminal law
continues to address the significant harms that flow from
prostitution to both communities and the prostitutes themselves.”
The government had argued that striking down the provisions of
the prostitution laws without enacting something else in their place
would “pose a danger to the public.”

“We will fight to ensure that the criminal law continues to address the significant harms that flow from prostitution to both communities and the prostitutes themselves, along with other vulnerable persons,” Justice Minister Rob Nicholson said in a statement.

Dianna Bussey, the Salvation Army’s prostitution-diversion program coordinator in Winnipeg, said she’s concerned that if the court decision stands it will increase the dangers faced by sex-trade workers because many of them work on the street — under the watchful eye of police.
