I am glad you are back. Always liked reading your posts. I think you are right, the charge for renewable energy must come from the people themselves. Buy solar panels, a wind turbine, invest in an electric car (personally I think hydrogen cars are the future), recycle, re-use, do whatever you can and when the government decides to catch up - that's great.

Any info on this woman? The ad looks good. The only minus is that she's 21, which is a little young for me and there are a couple posters who stay away from younger women. http://www.escorts-canada.com/provider/Winnipeg-MB/21535.html#provider21535

I go East. If I go West then it has to last forever - that's how I roll. I couldn't stand losing the intense emotional connection after one week.

Here's another link to the story https://news.yahoo.com/swedish-doctor-jailed-holding-woman-captive-bunker-154514573.html This quote from the article came from the attorney representing the man: Because don't the Swedes believe that all paid sex is rape? I mean, they keep saying that sex workers are victims. And paying for sex is illegal so he should have been automatically charged with that. I would love to ask his lawyer some questions.

(Samantha Craggs/CBC) The red sign says "Massage." The windows are covered with images of towel-clad men and women, their eyes closed in relaxation as pairs of anonymous hands work their magic. In the front lobby, soothing music plays. The room smells of incense. A woman in heavy makeup emerges from the back, fully clothed in soft pink. She speaks in broken English. "You want massage?" she asks. "I can give you a massage." To hear neighbours tell it, some clients who use this advertised wellness spa in the Greenhill Ave. area get a racier reception, and are offered much more than a massage. They say it is an illegal body rub parlour, offering illegal sexual services. But while the neighbourhood wants it gone, city bylaw officials say they have no way of knowing for sure what goes on there and only limited enforcement tools. The problem? New prostitution laws created in 2014 that focus on public buying or selling of sex mean police put little priority on the parlours, leaving bylaw staff on their own. In fact, bylaw staff say police no longer go undercover to help prove illegal activity. The city also cites the Greenhill area parlour as one it suspects â?? but can't prove â?? is doing unlicensed erotic massages. Such spas are proliferating, but since 2014, it's harder for city bylaw officers to find the parlours, it's harder to lay charges once they do. "The landscape of how (police) enforce today has completely changed," said Councillor Chad Collins, whose Ward 5 includes the area where the parlour is located. "I don't know if they'd use these words, but their hands are tied." Before 2014, city bylaw officials say, they would team up with Hamilton police officers who went into parlours undercover to catch culprits in illegal activity. Bylaw officers would also comb through the back pages of local publications to find places to investigate. The new law, Bill C-36, has changed all that. Now it's illegal to advertise sex services, said Jim Gordon, a Hamilton bylaw enforcement officer. The legal focus has shifted to nabbing people who buy sex. And Hamilton police are primarily only interested in unlicensed parlours when there's a human trafficking issue. The city isn't about to send bylaw enforcement officers into parlours undercover, Collins said. So its options are limited. Police are 'victim focused' Hamilton Police wouldn't answer exactly how Bill C-36 has changed their approach to erotic massage parlours. But in an email response, Supt. Dan Kinsella reiterated that investigators are interested in human trafficking cases, and that they want people to report it whether a parlour is licensed or not. "The service is victim-focused and committed to the protection and prevention of trafficked women and girls," he said. "The vice & drugs human trafficking unit is specifically mandated to assist victims and to investigate incidents of human trafficking. To those who may find themselves caught up in situations, we want them to know that they can reach out at any time to Hamilton Police." Collins has asked for a city report on the problem. Hamilton isn't the only city grappling with how to crack down on unlicensed parlours. It's an issue in many Ontario cities. With Bill C-36, the industry has "gone underground," said Orest Katolyk, London's chief municipal law enforcement officer. His office shut down a spa in December that was located next to a Christian reading room. As for how they're finding such places post-Bill C-36, "we don't disclose that publicly," he said. Only 2 are licensed, and the city cranked up the fees Then again, Gordon said, it can be hard to find them. The parlours are transient and identify themselves as holistic wellness centres. To find them, the city relies on neighbourhood complaints or second-hand information from parlour clients. Lately, the city's enforcement focus has shifted to landlords. The city can go to court to take control of property where illegal activity is happening, Gordon said. City officials have sent letters to landlords informing them of that fact. Gordon said he knows of "eight to 10" unlicensed body rub parlours in Hamilton right now. But the internet shows many more. Websites such as toronto-exotic-massage.com list the Greenhill clinic and dozens of others in Hamilton, Burlington and Grimsby. That includes Garden of Eden and King Sherman, Hamilton's only two licensed adult body rub parlours. In 2013, the city cranked up the annual licensing fees for managers at Garden of Eden and King Sherman, from $307 to $1,235 per year. That money is supposed to be used to help crack down on unlicensed places, said Barbara Beaver, manager of King Sherman Sauna. But she has no idea if it actually is. Owner denies the unlicensed activity "I can't comment on that. I've never seen one," she said of unlicensed places. "I only know what the city tells me." CBC contacted a woman who said she was the owner of the Greenhill area parlour. She disputes that her business is doing anything wrong. "I'm just regular massage," she told CBC Hamilton. "I just do regular body massage." Neighbours describe a parlour that's open until the wee hours, with clients who go to the back door for privacy and hit a buzzer for admittance. Tong disputes that, saying she's open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., and "I use the back door. Customers don't use the back door." 'We've seen people take boxes of condoms in' Frank Westaway, who worked in bylaw enforcement in Hamilton until 2000, owns a noise consulting firm in the neighbourhood. He's also a long-time resident. "I still don't think that it's a legitimate massage parlour," he said. "We've seen people take boxes of condoms in. We've seen people walk in nicely dressed and come out with their clothes undone." Greenhill is largely a residential neighbourhood with apartment buildings and single-family homes â?? with "a lot of kids," he said. "It's not needed in this area."

I laughed when I read the title of this thread. Is BP still free for escorts? That's the problem right there. It costs a scam artist nothing to post an ad with stolen pics and a bogus description. That's why you should use sites that charge escorts a fee for advertising.

I thought MILF only referred to physical attributes. "Conventional Wisdom" - notice the quotes - says that before pregnancy, a woman is physically desirable and after pregnancy her body becomes undesirable due to the physical changes. Some women have genetics/physiology/whatever that allow them to return to the way they looked before they were pregnant. Some women also exercise There's also another way in which women don't go back to the way they looked before they got pregnant, but their bodies are still desirable. A MILF must be at least 18. Breast size is irrelevant. It seems that porn promotes the idea that women must have big breasts in order to be a MILF, but in my definition as long as they look good then that's enough. I'm not into big breasts anyway. MILF does not refer to the motherly or caring maternal behaviours of a woman. That being said, I do not refer to women as MILFs. The word "mother" is supposed to be about loving and caring, not about being a receptacle. When you call someone a MILF you are purely thinking about them as a piece of meat, and that's why women hate the term.

Plus she changed her phone number. She now has an Alberta area code, but I think it was different before.

Hi Melly, Welcome to Lyla. I checked out your website - it's nice. I hope you gave a good time here.

This is a new girl (well, new to me) who started posting ads on BP a couple days ago. Google Image Search reveals nothing. http://winnipeg.backpage.com/FemaleEscorts/naughty-sweet-and-seductiveoutcalls-jess-204-800-1103/2682666

There's another thread in this forum about Veronique Marquis. I Googled and found her website here: http://veroniquemarquis.��������files.com/about Is it the same person? The phone numbers are different.

Thanks Cinelli. I might check her out.

From Winnipeg: If you like BBWs then Winnipeg has them. But I just can't find an SP with a truly killer body that isn't a BBW. I like smaller women and there don't seem to be any around. The other thing is, have you guys found that the ladies don't rely on email as much as they used to? That's my preferred method of communication but it seems today's SPs prefer phone calls.

Maybe you can hit the Reply button on the ad. Has anyone ever tried this and is it a good idea?

I think so. This weekend I talked to a DJ at Lipstixx who also works at Solid Gold and he said "See you at Solid Gold" because he knows I go there. That being said, Teasers and Lipstixx are really into the social media thing on Facebook, but SG doesn't want to be - I heard that from one of the dancers (she's reliable).

I'm sure you all know this, but I'm surprised it isn't being discussed here. Amnesty International created a draft proposal about decriminalizing sex work. Anti-trafficking groups got upset and created a petition against it. Sex workers created a petition in favour of it on change.org Has anyone ever signed a petition on change.org? They want people's real names and address, and for the past few days I've been wondering how safe it is to give them that info. Here is the petition: https://www.change.org/p/amnesty-international-secretary-general-amnesty-international-board-amnesty-international-council-we-call-on-the-amnesty-international-council-to-stand-firm-and-support-decriminalisation-of-sex-work-and-protect-the-human-rights-of-sex-workers

I used tineye and her pictures came up from other parts of the web. The second picture is of a 33 year old Japanese model named Anri Sugihara. I think you should avoid this one.

Honestly, it's hit and miss. You can go to a strip club one week and have a good time, go to the same club the next week and have an okay time. All three clubs - Lipstixx, Solid Gold, and Teasers - usually get busy on the weekend. Because Superb moves the girls around, you never know who's gonna be where. A buddy of mine recently had a stag for a friend at Solid Gold and he said the girls were ugly - but that was on that one particular night. Two nights later the girls could've all been hot. There's gonna be a new club opening up on Pembina Highway soon.

Teasers has Five Alive at Five on Fridays and Saturdays at 5:00 It's where five girls dance on the stage at the same time.

Did you ever meet this person?

She doesn't display her rates. Maybe she figures it out when you call her. But here's what bothers me - this is from her website: . On the left column is her email address and on the bottom is a form where you can submit a message to her with a checkbox that says "I'm ready to book" Why would you say that you can only reach me by phone and then have those two other options? It just seems weird to me.

She has no name in her ad. Don't answer this question, but how do you initiate contact with someone who doesn't leave a name in her ad?

The best would be if Thomas Mulcair was leader of the Liberal party. I'd vote for that in seconds. A Conservative minority would be bad. The last time they had one they governed like they had a majority and it worked. They put all their votes up for confidence votes, meaning that if they lost then an election would be called. The Liberals caved in every single time. I'm betting on a coalition government between the Liberals and the NDP. The one catch is that Trudeau's ego might not allow it. If the two parties were smart they would be talking about that possibility right now.

[URL]http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/winnipeg-s-at-risk-youth-targeted-in-outreach-sweep-1.3012404[/URL] A joint project targeting Winnipeg youth at high risk of being sexually exploited swept through 26 addresses in the city this week. "It's not all about making arrests," said Const. Jason Michalyshen. "It's about making contact with these individuals to make sure they are not being exploited first and foremost, making sure that human trafficking is not taking place." Project Return, conducted on Wednesday and Thursday, resulted in: 2 males arrested for purchasing sexual services. [LIST] [*]1 vehicle seized under the prostitution-human trafficking offence. [*]2 females identified as escorts. Once determined not to be victims of human trafficking or under aged, they were offered support services including health care and emotional supports. [*]26 addresses being checked for missing youth. [*]6 at-risk youth being located, including one missing from rural Manitoba. Each was transported to a place of safety. [*]1 missing youth located and arrested on an outstanding warrant. [/LIST] Project Return was a joint project involving the Winnipeg Police Serviceâ??s counter exploitation unit, the missing persons unit, and outreach workers from StreetReach Winnipeg. StreetReach is comprised of numerous organizations including the Manitoba child protection branch, All Nations Coordinated Response Network, MaryMound Inc., Mamawi and MARTR (Manitoba Association for Residential Treatment Resource). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My Questions: I wonder if the escorts turned down the services? What age qualifies as being a youth? What qualifies a woman as being an escort in Winnipeg? Does she have a licence or is just identified as selling sexual services? What good is an escort licence? As long as the men treated the women with respect then I hope they get off.

In Winnipeg it's $30 per dance - no contact (not that I mind). In the early 2000s it was $20. Here's the thing: it's the exact same type of dance! And in two of the clubs (Lipstixx and Teasers) they now have these tiny cubicles in which the girls can't really move around in and put on a good private show. Thus, you're paying more for less. The inflation argument doesn't work for me unless you can point out a reason why the cost of providing the dance has increased. Has the price of music gotten more expensive? Maybe the costumes cost more. If anyone knows then please tell me. Also in Winnipeg the focus is on good stage shows. We have a number of high quality feature entertainers that come here often who put on spectacular shows. I think the real problem is that the clubs either can't or don't know how to promote themselves.
