Canada Braces For A Ho-Down
By Wyatt Earp | September 29, 2010
Ashley's taking the next flight to Ottawa.
In Canada, pimpin’ ain’t easy; but it’ll be less difficult for the next month or so.
A Toronto judge has struck down Canada’s prostitution laws, effectively decriminalizing activities associated with the world’s oldest trade.
“These laws, individually and together, force prostitutes to choose between their liberty interest and their right to security of the person as protected under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms,” Justice Susan Himel of Ontario’s Superior Court of Justice said in Tuesday’s landmark decision.
Himel said that while she has concluded the laws amount to a serious violation of the Charter, she has imposed a 30-day “stay” on her decision to give lawyers for the federal and provincial governments, as well as the women at the centre of the case, an opportunity to make fuller submissions on whether her decision to invalidate the laws should be placed on hold for an even longer period of time.
If you’re in Canada and want a ho for show, you have 30 days to do it. Get moving, people! The clock is ticking . . . but you can get hourly rates.

Robert B. – Damn, and I spent the last nine months being good.
MUD – Good policy. Then your hands won’t fall off.
Danny – 46 minutes? I would need to kill 57 minutes – and that’s including the time spent disrobing.

Canada is just picking up where the Craigslist Adult services left off. Legal working girls, socialized healthcare for that post coital check up, and back bacon-what a marvelous country!

I’ll grab some music and a bag of pork rinds, be ready in ten.

And the hookers will have on those tight tight sweats up in the cold, so not only will Canada be the home of the moose, but the moose toes as well.

Too bad this happened when the US $ is down against the Canadian $. Never underestimate the importance of timing.

Mrs. Crankipants – No pork rinds. I’m Muslim.
Jon – Nice imagery there.
John D – Yeah, it’s the Netflix issue all over again.
DL474 – Yeah, I repeated that on your blog.
RT – You can never be too careful. Especially if I go up. Lord knows I’m riddled with STDs. Oh, I’ve said too much.
