Toronto Escorts In The News!

Just take a look at the picture above this column and you will understand why the mayor and his team didn’t get their proper due for settling labour contracts without job action.
Yes, that is an exotic dancer. At City Hall. In Toronto.
And why is there an exotic dancer at City Hall, you ask?
The city’s municipal, licensing and standards committee was considering a request from Coun. Frances Nunziata for a review of Toronto’s adult entertainment parlour regulations.
And when most city committees meet, it affords the opportunity for deputations from interested parties.
As Sun City Hall bureau chief Don Peat reported, the “executive director of the Adult Entertainment Association of Canada, asked the committee for changes to the city’s bylaws on permitted activity in Toronto’s strip clubs … and brought along Viviana to demonstrate ‘pole work’ to the committee.”

Boston Red Sox closer Bobby Jenks is to be in court April 9 to answer to charges that include driving under the influence and leaving the scene of a crash following an incident outside a strip club in Fort Myers, Fla. As Reggie Hayes of the Fort Wayne News-Sentinel put it: “This is what happens when you have too many relief pitchers of beer.” … Officers knew the veteran hurler was intoxicated because he had slurved speech … Jamie Moyer is trying to crack the roster of the Colorado Rockies this spring – at age 49. According to ESPN.com’s Jim Caple, one of the greatest things about pitching at that age is, “The scouts no longer point the radar gun at you, they just count ‘One Mississippi, Two Mississippi.’ “

TORONTO â An exotic dancer treated Toronto’s licensing and standards committee to an unexpected pole dance on Thursday as strippers urged the city to tweak its regulation of adult entertainment parlours.
Wearing black patent vinyl shorts and a white shirt, raven-haired Viviana, from Ecuador, effortlessly twirled and draped herself around the acrobatic equipment as operatic music played.
Tim Lambrinos, with the Adult Entertainment Association of Canada, said he believes women working in clubs across the city have waited long enough for the city to clarify a bylaw he said leaves them open to harassment.
…
Lambrinos has taken politicians on strip club tours to help them understand the issues, including one attended by Councillors Giorgio Mammoliti, Frank Di Giorgio and Cesar Palacio in 2009. At the time, a newspaper reported that Deputy Mayor Doug Holyday said a meeting at a civic centre would have been a more appropriate place to talk about concerns.

It’s not often the words “city councillor” and “pole dancing” appear in a news story that isn’t about some kind of sordid sex scandal.
But on Thursday afternoon a pole dancer performed for Toronto council members during a committee meeting at city hall.
The pole dancer was there as the city’s licensing and standards committee reviews its guidelines on what acts are allowed — and which ones are verboten — inside city strip clubs.
The pole dancer performed (fully clothed) for a few minutes to give council members an idea about what goes on behind the closed doors of Toronto strip clubs.
Owners of the clubs are asking for guidelines from the city and in many cases want the rules relaxed.
The pole-dancer’s performance triggered an immediate response on Twitter.

TORONTO - 
Councillors, put your hands together for Viviana!
Hogtown’s licensing and standards committee got a front row seat for a pole dance Thursday. And unlike the real deal, the clothes — including black patent leather short-shorts — stayed on during the exotic dancer’s three-minute routine.
Before the stripper’s bump and grind broke out, the committee was considering a request from Councillor Frances Nunziata for a review of Toronto’s adult entertainment parlour regulations.
Tim Lambrinos, the executive director of the Adult Entertainment Association of Canada, asked the committee for changes to the city’s bylaws on permitted activity in Toronto’s strip clubs. To drive home his point, Lambrinos brought along Viviana to demonstrate “pole work” to the committee.
That’s when the dance set to an opera-techno music mix started, complete with pylons marking off a safety area around the portable, pole-dancing stage.

Strippers in Toronto say police are targeting them for traffic stops because of their job. (VERONICA HENRI, Toronto Sun files)
TORONTO - 
Some Toronto-area exotic dancers say they’re being hassled by Toronto Police traffic officers and will be calling on city council to help curb their fears.
The dancers claim police are finding out they are strippers from their on-board police computers and stopping their vehicles for “roadside checks.”
At least three Toronto strippers have complained to the Adult Entertainment Association of Canada in the last month. They allege they were pulled over by police for “no legitimate reason” while driving their vehicles, said association director Tim Lambrinos, adding no charges were laid.
…
Some Toronto-area strippers also complained last year of tough scrutiny and background checks when crossing the U.S. border due to their occupations.

The dancers claim police are stopping them for “roadside checks” after finding out they are strippers from the on-board computers in cop cars.
At least three strippers have complained to the Adult Entertainment Association of Canada in the last month. They allege they were pulled over by police for “no legitimate reason” while driving their vehicles, said association director Tim Lambrinos, adding no charges were laid on the stripper-drivers.
Lambrinos said more than 20 dancers were pulled over for roadside “checks” by police in Hamilton and the Niagara area during the same time.
…
Councillors will review a decision by Justice Robert Reid, who presided over mediation between the city and the downtown strip club House of Lancaster in an issue over bylaw amendment and enforcement.
Some local strippers also complained last year of tough scrutiny and background checks when crossing the U.S. border due to their occupations.

The best-known way to regulate brothels is instituting a legal red-light district like Amsterdam’s. Coun. Giorgio Mammoliti, who last year suggested setting one up on the Toronto Islands, noted that the ideal location would be somewhere out of the way, suggesting the city look at industrial parks.
Any number of sites that fit that bill dot the GTA, including the chameleonic Port Lands, which was also bandied about as a possible location for a future casino. The further from pre-existing neighbourhoods, the better to placate enraged residents.
Stripped away
Tim Lambrinos, executive director of the Adult Entertainment Association of Canada, suggested to the city a year ago to simply allow strip clubs to apply to add a brothel — they’re already licensed for erotic services.
Strip clubs have a strong incentive to play by the rules, he said, because they’ve invested so much in complying with regulations. (A strip club licence costs thousands of dollars).
