Legalize the industry or just decriminalize the providing of services? I think more than likely the later. I’m betting Canada will catch up with the most progressive of 1st world countries(full legalization) long before ‘Merica...

Surprised Trump hasn't - I'm sure he's had his fair share :pound:
In private only I'd say. Publicly he is a good Christian according to his base.

** cough cough bullshit **

But seriously, which Canadian Party would take on dismantling C-36 these days?

:rockon:

Was just announced today

So this literally "buys" your vote?Have you ever paid any attention to Bernie Sanders and his curmudgeonly rants about "Democratic Socialism" per his bid to gain more power.The guy owns 4 houses....do you think he will give up any of them in a "Socialist" Democracy? All you get out of it is a bigger nanny state with BIGGER Government and higher taxes.

Prostitution laws may be written/passed by Governments but they are enforced by boots on the ground which is local LE.Local LE will enforce prostitution laws when prostitution becomes problematic and a public concearn.

If you wish to elect a fucktard like Sanders to office or say Trudeau here in Canada over a single issue such as prostitution or legal weed you are a selfish single minded person who pushes the detriment of bad governance onto Society as a whole for the benefit of your own whims.

Often been said that the trouble with Socialism is that sooner or later you run out of other people's money to spend. Philosophically, if you believe that people are born a "blank slate", that everything that a person becomes in life is a result of the environment that the person is raised in, you may be tempted to embrace Socialism with its one-size-fits-all equality. For the conservative, life's processes are innate and inborn.

From Google:
An innate ability is a trait or characteristic that is present in an organism at birth. It is always present in the organism and was not a learned behavior. For example, humans have the innate ability for language - it occurs in all humans naturally.

In philosophy and psychology, an innate idea is a concept or item of knowledge which is said to be universal to all humanity—that is, something people are born with rather than something people have learned through experience.

Or maybe they just don't have a conflict because they also like socialism? :)

Way to flip the script, though. So in your world view socialism supporters are only thinking of themselves?

Or socialism, moves to marxism, and ends up as communism. I believe this is the ultimate objective of the Democratic Party in the U.S. right now. With the brilliant AOC leading the way. Their ideas are more like something taken from the American Communist Party instead of what was once a respected party of JFK.

That is pretty much the plan for both AOC and Sanders.The Green New Deal would cost 40 TRILLION to enact it so the USA deficit would pretty much sit at 60 TRILLION.Anybody who thinks that is a smart plan needs to be locked away
in a loonie bin for the safety of themselves and society in general.

You may as well say conservatism leads to fascism leads to dictatorship. It's as unlikely an argument.

It constantly amazes me that even Canadians are buying into the socialism hysteria coming from the US when in many ways we're already more socialist than they dared dream be. (The Obama government was less of a socialist than most Canadian governments.)

Wow!!!.....just WOW......I guess you have not taken the time to at least try and read through the NDP LEAP Manifesto.I triple dog dare you to do so....with a pretty please sprinkled with some sugar on top and a dash of Franks Red Hot as that shit gets put on EVERYTHING.

I am pretty sure that AOC based her whacked out nut job Socialist New Green Deal on the basis of the NDP LEAP Manifesto which when it comes right down to it it not viable.The LEAP Manifesto is an utter crock of Socialist nonsense but it leads to one end.....the elites of the political ruling class living at the top whilst the rest of Society is SUBJUGATED.

Until you have read EVERY word of the NDP LEAP Manifesto dont even respond.....unless of course you TRY to read your way through it and come up with the same conclusion as me....IF it were enacted Canada would be on a collision course for Destination Fucked.

Did somebody mention NDP? I thought you were after Trudeau in this thread.

Personally, I can consider voting NDP or Liberals or Green. Feel free to share which of the three you prefer. Just not Conservative, after their pathetic sex work laws. Sending people to jail for no good reason is the red line for me. Other things are negotiable.

Well thanks for adding to the discussion Mr.Helper and you relevate yourself down to a simple myopic topic that affects less than 1% of the total population.Sorry to tell you this but the interests of purchasers of sex are not even a wedge issue.

You choose and I choose.I made my decision to vote Conservative after the Sponsorship Administration Program under Chretien when the Lieberal party STOLE 250 MILLION in taxpayer money to dole out to cronies and insiders.

Up to that point I voted Liberal.....and AdScam put my nose out of joint.....proven again by LavScam recently....the Lieberals are nothing but pigs at the trough....the NDP is shown just as bad for their record of Provincial Governance across the country.

As far as I am concearned you can shave a monkey and dress it in a new suit and give it a blue tie and I would vote for it compared to the Lieberals.

Yeah but did anyone actually go to jail over those sex work laws? Refresh my memory. Certainly not in BC.

Whether anyone is going to jail over it or not is less than half the problem. The service providers themselves commit no crime presently, but still conduct business in the shadows assuming many risks that could be mitigated if this were all legal. I’m an ex canabis user who supports the current legality, and further deregulation. Before I ever pooned, I supported full legalization of prostitution for safety reasons though, at the time, I looked down upon the behaviour of both purveyors and purchasers. I don’t know that I’d be a single-issue voter on this subject, but it is beyond me how socially/ethically progressive Canada is yet we force women to endanger themselves needlessly, and dangle prosecution, shame and ruin over the men who solicit them.

Yeah, except "sending people to jail for no good reason" is a topic that affects around 100% of the population once you go down the slippery slope. I didn't say only one bad reason mattered, did I? If you know of other parties who implemented ill-conceived criminal laws, bring it in, maybe I'll join the hate. Fascist states start one law at a time, I prefer to be on the safe side.

Not to my knowledge. But it's the thought that counts. The laws that are not enforced are still doing a dirty job of undermining the justice system and blurring the lines between right and wrong.

The Liberals (one of the parties you would vote for) have had several years in power to scrap the laws but they haven't. What does that tell you about the Liberals?
