Here is a noble idea... start treating it like any other business!! Accept that is is a LEGITIMATE industry and is NOT going anywhere! We all know that in places where the law is more strict this business is still very much alive - just a lot more underground. Look at the USA and the recent issue with CL. Hundreds of thousands of ads in a place where it is very much illegal to be or use a prostitute. The investigative reporters from CNN placed an ad and within a few minutes started to be SWAMPED with phone calls... Hmmm... Looks like those laws are working!! We also know that in places around the world where the governments legalize it with "Restrictions" people are still breaking the law (People do not like to be told how to run their business - especially when the business is a persons own body and not some store bough item off the shelf!) If the goal is to PROTECT the women (and all prostitutes as male and she-male prostitutes should be equally considered in this) we need to make stronger laws against actual abusive people! Pimps, Bad dates, stalkers, rapists, murders, etc... (people who are currently attracted to this business because the laws make it easier for them to be abusive as the ladies are often afraid to go to the authorities) If it was all legal (decriminalized) the ladies can REPORT violent offenders to the police without worry that they will be arrested!!!! We need stiffer laws to deal with these people however as they are just let back on the street and become MORE abusive to that same person (or others). I bet a lot of the fear the ladies have against testifying against a actual abusive pimp or bad date is that the abusive person will be let back out on to the streets and could come back after them! Since the ladies place ads to see clients this would give the abusive person a way to easily locate them again... and the law does nothing to help protect these ladies. Do you know how many rapes, beatings, thefts, etc... take place in this industry that go unreported?? How many violent offenders target prostitutes and these things go UNREPORTED because of the fear the ladies have of the police!! Law makers need to consider this stuff before they put pen to paper or they need to be held accountable for rights violations that push people into dangerous situations like this. It's not that these businesses attract more offenders - the laws just make them easy prey for these violent offenders to target because of the current LAWS! Any MORAL crusader reading this??? I am sure with the current laws being challenged that many of you are reading sites like this to try to dig up more dirt! You should consider that no mater what laws are this industry will exist ... Stop thinking they are lesser human being than you!! You are not a nice human being yourself if you think you are any better then anyone else! These are REAL people (Flesh and blood) just like you and me (Not a lesser person as you like to make the people out to be) and by implementing laws that take away these PEOPLES rights you are making them easy PREY for these violent offenders and I hope you can sleep at night when you read about people like Robert Pickton In my books... you are no better then the predators, pimps and drug pushers as you would be forcing the sex workers right into the open arms of these horrible people! It's a shame that you don't stop for a minute and realize how ignorant you are being and how you have fallen victim to 1000 year old propaganda. ? Grouping stuff like sex slavery and underage prostitution into ONE THING and trying to rally people to get behind your crusade is sad!! Go after the sex slavery and child prostitution, go after the gangs and the pimps... we will all be on your side with you!! When you group everyone together your being unrealistic and just using a legitimate fight to fuel a mob of crusader for your ulterior motives. With the internet this type of CRUSADING is coming to an end!! The laws DO NOT stop it from happening - instead stricter laws push the industry down (underground) where gangs, pimps and predators are waiting and this just creates much more unsafe conditions! NOTHING is going to STOP IT and the moral crusaders who think laws will stop it from happening are very much mistaken. NEW LAWS? We have laws to protect people from being abused, slaved, forced to do something against their will (Prostitution related or not what is the difference?? BAD PEOPLE ARE BAD PEOPLE) ... we have laws against drug dealers, gang members... we even have laws that say you can't just operate a business on the side of the street wherever you please. Why single out prostitutes like they are lesser human beings or doing something that is bringing harm to others? They are bringing happiness to others! HAPPINESS! That is what they are selling - sex is good - most of us in this world REALLY love it... we also like to be close to other people, be intimate. You want new laws?? Try making better laws for municipalities (towns/cities) some sort of judicial review of new by-laws ensuring that the laws are not moral based and do not take rights away from a individual. If prostitution is made completely legal (Decriminalized) the municipalities who already try to abuse this power by placing "Escort" licenses trying to say that these licenses are not for prostitution (Who the hell are they kidding)... if it's legalized this is going to skyrocket out of control as they will no longer need to PRETEND the a escort and a prostitute are not the same!! If this starts to happen I will personally start helping to organize groups of advocates who will sue individuate municipalities for this sort of illegal behavior! Any "Prostitution" based law specific to this industry is going to take away the chartered rights of the PERSON who has chosen to be in this business willingly. Every business has crooks and bad people... bad employers and even abusive employers! Because of the laws it attracts these seedy people more as the industry is pushed underground. Bad media, moral crusaders and self righteous people can no longer make outlandish claims against sex workers. Thanks to the internet we all talk now, the truth is being told and the false propaganda can no longer attack us all. Smart people simply go online and find places like cerb on Google and educate themselves ... and is why we have less and less moral crusaders and bullshit propaganda these days as people are smart enough to seek the truths and not beleive the crazy moral crusaders!! The law makers and politicians (or at least the assistants of these people) will research this industry when making these new laws ... and rest assured they are going to read stuff online like we have here on cerb that shows the entire industry in a positive light. Making laws against prostitution will not protect anyone - it will put people in harms way. It will not stop it from happening. It's the oldest profession for a very good reason!

So I asked one of the asian website owners (Who promotes the bait and switch agencies) as to why they did this and to my surprise I finally got a reply as he agrees it is bad but he has no control over it. (See his reply below as it is interesting). I ask these guys this ALL THE TIME and usually they just ignore me or tell me off ... "all the girls are "public", which means they dont work for any specific agency. they work for all the agencies." WTF?? No wonder I never get a reply... To me this sounds like one single "organization" imports all the women and move them around from place to place for a few months and trade them in for new ones?? Sure sounds like one very large operation!! Guess any of you who like asian women are just use to the bait and switch thing. Why even bother putting up photos, bio's and giving them names... what is the point? It makes EVERYONE look bad! I feel very bad for the asian women who use real photos, have ethics and integrity. It's interesting to get a reply like this but it looks like it's a bigger problem then I thought. Organizations like this will be used as references and made examples out of in the upcoming legal issues!! This could effect the whole industry as like streetwalkers they will group this (and it will be seen as sex slavery) all in one large category that includes everyone here!! Let it be stated publicly that this is a CULTURAL ASIAN THING and has NOTHING to do with the Independent CANADIAN ladies (and non-asian agencies). Most of the ladies (especially as seen here on cerb) have ETHICS and would NOT bait and switch. Places like CL and apparently 99% of all AsIAN ads are BS! They are giving our entire industry a BAD REP! This part of the SEX TRADE here in CANADA is imported from ASIAN culture and DOES NOT represent how things are done in this BUSINESS here in Canada. These agencies are obviously NOT operating like the rest of the the sex work trade here in Canada.

I know I do now Cato!!! Met Angel yesterday, when I walked in I said I've come to see her 'best bum' so she lifted the back of her short skirt, looked over her shoulder at her reflection in the bathroom mirror, did a cute wiggle and asked "look familiar?" Priceless!

To here the leaders of our community, our mayor and our politicians talk you would think that there was a pimp on every corner and we as SPs where all crazy on drugs and in need of saveing. There are problems in the sex industry granted but the vast majority of sew workers out there arn't on drugs, pay their taxes, look after there familys, get educations and live what are deemed normal lives. The problem is that most folks don't know this. I don't know how to speak this message publicly with out putting my self at risk. If I write to my MP I have to sign my name to the letter for it to have any bearing. If I stand up at a town hall meeting and speak my mind I announce my self to my community. If I write for the paper again my words have no weight with out a name. How do we as sex workers and people who seek the services of sex worker find our voice. Through groups like POWER, through personal risk and by not being ashamed of this age old work we do. By educating. I've come out twice now first as queer and a second time as transexual, this has cost me the relationship with my parents a marriage and a home. But I've been rewarded ten fold with a better life. I'm going to sign my letters I'm going to call the CBC I will stand up and be counted I will not go quietly back to the closet

I tend to disagree with your statement about ladies losing track of the business as well that expecting $300+ an hour is out of line. As someone who travels 80% of the month, I think it is you that does not understand how a touring lady conducts her business. If people are interested in seeing a companion, regardless of what her donations are they will visit with her. Why would anyone travel to another city and work for less than they currently make, would you? If a lady is travelling she has expenses among other things on top of normal everyday expenses at home. Not all providers are high volume ladies either, most come to visit with the expectation of seeing a couple amazing clients. Their donation among how they carry themselves allows them to be able to do just that. Some increase there donations to cover expenses others require a time duration minimum. If the lady has a great additude, personality and service, she is worth every penny of a what ever she chooses to charge for her time. There is no "Market Rate" /"Going Rate" in any city, people like to use that term to barter and that is a load of garbage. You use the term to "keep the flow of business steady" - Not all ladies offer a revolving door service. What a lady charges and what she offers are up to her, if she is in demand and people are happy her donation will not matter in the end.

Leigh La Bouche, who advertises on here, is either aboriginal or metis. Nice figure, attractive, great service. I would recommend.
