TORONTO - 
Some cops in Niagara Region are being accused of ‘targeting’ exotic dancers due to a lack of prostitution-related cases to deal with since Ontario hooker laws are being appealed, says a group that represents strippers.
“The police are picking an easy target in dancers,” said Tim Lambrinos, of the Exotic Dancers Association of Canada. “We are very concerned that our clubs are being targeted.”
…
There are nine strip clubs in the region and they employ up to 900 dancers and other staff.
…
About 40 strippers were forced to undergo security checks in front of 500 patrons by members of the force’s Licencing Unit. One charge was laid against a club owner.
…
The association is also calling for female cops to patrol and investigate strip clubs.

Edwards pleaded guilty in Newmarket court on Monday to a dozen charges, including extortion, unlawful confinement, obstructing a police officer and assault.
The plea deal was worked out by assistant Crown Attorney Michael Demczur and defence lawyer Leora Shemesh, but they could not agree on an appropriate sentence.
A sentencing hearing before Justice Peter West is set for June 28.
No family members were present in court and Edwards’s voice was barely audible as he repeatedly said the word, “guilty.”
A preliminary hearing was told that Edwards trained his former girlfriend to avoid police, with the threat that “his people would harm her and her family.”
Court also heard that he kept hunting down and assaulting the former stripper when she tried to leave him, including one occasion when he punched her in the face and left her unconscious by the side of a road.

But he had to get over his fan shyness quickly. And he did.  ”I remember doing rehearsals as we were trying to choreograph how we were going to conceive a child on the hood of a car.
“It was, you know, awkward at first, but we sort of worked out all the scenes  and then just went for it,” adds the actor.  ”And she’s great to work off of.  She’s witty, and into banter, so it was a lot of fun to play off her.”
Both became friends quickly. The playful Crawford even forked over some money to entertain Kendrick with a private dancer on her 25th birthday, which Kendrick confirms.
“We went to the Claremont Lounge, which is like an Atlanta institution,” she says of the kitschy strip club.
“It’s sort of hilarious. They have like 60-year-old women who are strippers, and that’s awesome. And this woman, dressed as Little Bo Peep, came up and said, ‘This guy just bought you a lap dance.’”

TORONTO - 
Toronto could one day have special prosecutors to crack the whip on naughty strip clubs, massage parlours and holistic centres.
Councillor Peter Milczyn wants city bureaucrats to look at the benefits of hiring special prosecutors to handle prosecutions against adult entertainment, body rub parlours, holistic centres and other problem establishments caught flaunting Toronto’s bylaws.
“We have problem establishments,” Milczyn said Tuesday. “In my particular case, the issues I’m dealing with (in my ward) primarily are holistics and body rub parlours. There are a lot of issues with effective prosecution of them. Part of it is the quality of evidence that is gathered and part of it is frustration with how the prosecutions deal with it.”

It’s not this former 18-storey Holiday Inn that is lined with namesake gold — it’s the Wall Street neighbours, especially the Federal Reserve Bank, making this probably the safest part of the city. Tours of the world’s biggest stash of gold can be arranged a month in advance (see ny.frb.org).

According to Fleury, James also recognized a vulnerability that would be easy to exploit. Fleury recounts with a frank, matter-of-fact delivery that he repeatedly fought off the man’s advances until he could no longer do so.
“All I ever wanted was somebody who was an adult to come and rescue me,” he says in the film.
All this is also detailed in his bestselling book, “Playing with Fire,” co-written by Kirstie McLellan Day, Larry Day’s wife.
She appears throughout the film to help outline Fleury’s meteoric rise to superstardom in 1989, the year he joined the Calgary Flames and the year they won the Stanley Cup.
But success brought out an increasingly self-destructive streak in Fleury. Flush with cash, he was able to indulge his proclivity to drink, take drugs, gamble and seek comfort in strippers. These vices dogged him when he joined the New York Rangers, and later, the Chicago Blackhawks.

Peel Det. Dan Johnstone, then with the homicide squad and in charge of the probe into Alevizos’ murder, said in a 2009 interview “it’s not a secret that (Bravo) was convicted of conspiracy to kill Big Gus.
“It’d be quite transparent to anyone in law enforcement … that (Bravo) would be a person of interest in the murder of Constantin Alevizos,” Johnstone said.
According to federal court documents, Bravo was born in Spain on Dec. 23, 1956, and moved to Canada when he was a young child.
His extensive criminal record begins in 1975 and ends with conspiracy to commit murder and to import a tonne of cocaine. Along the way, he was convicted of manslaughter in the death of his stripper girlfriend and of conspiring while in jail to import eight kilos of hash oil from Jamaica.

Though he still keeps a place in his native Toronto, Drake has recently moved to L.A. The relocation has already sparked musical ideas for the Young Money star. “There’s just so much going on for me in the U.S. that I recently made the move to L.A.,” he said. “It’s a new atmosphere, getting to know new people. It’s going to be a very interesting album.”
Drake told MTV News that with Take Care, he was telling a story inspired by his 2009 track “Houstatlantavegas.” On the song, Drake created a fictional world, describing a love affair with an ambitious stripper who can’t quite get out of the life. “It was a world that was very much real to me, but I created it in my mind. It was a world that, being a kid from Toronto, I used to look at from the outside and I used to be like, ‘Man that looks crazy,’ ” he told us. “All those strip clubs and all those nightclubs and the drinks and the girls and the fame.”
