Craigslist canada shuts down erotic section

Damn, I figured...

Well, you failed. Whatever you stuck up there died a shitty death and breathed it's last breath in my toilet bowl. You better hope he doesn't clog my toilet
Well the Gerbils are always the first things to go. But the metal tends to stick around for a little bit.

Godspeed.

There's a significant prostitution-related case (Bedford v. Canada) currently on the floor in Canada.

In September 2010, a judge in Ontario Superior Court struck down Canada’s prostitution laws, saying provisions meant to protect women and residential neighbourhoods were endangering sex workers’ lives. If the decision were to stand, 'prostitutes would be able to communicate freely with customers on the street, conduct business in their homes or brothels and hire bodyguards and accountants without exposing them to the risk of criminal sanctions'.

At this time, the ruling was stayed for 30 days to 'give the government time to consider how to address potential consequences, including the emergence of unlicensed brothels'.

The stay has been extended twice since then over concern of 'dire consequences' resulting from this decision. On October 15 the stay was extended by 30 days, and on December 2, 2010 a decision was pushed out until April 29, 2011.

According to Wikipedia 49% of Canadians approved of the decision ... and 34% were opposed.

Obviously, there is a lot more to this that I've outlined - however these are some core facts.

^^ What do you mean? How is this off topic? :facepalm:

If the laws are struck down the erotic section will be back in business the same day.

Yet another example of the 'Nanny State' using undue influence over what consenting adults do in private.

Bet if I was to spider the surfing habits of every Provincial rep (purely hypothetically, of course) I'd find a Aladdin's Cave of Craigslist erotic surfing; not to mention scads of goat porn. And at least one jpeg of Pirate's gaping flapper .....

I highly doubt that CL will bring it back regardless. It's about time backpage got some competition though as they are the only major player at the moment
