I bought a pre-construction in downtown condo in 2012 (top of the market), and sold it a few months ago at a double-digit % loss (this includes the 5% commission I paid the realtor). My advice for people asking if they should buy a condo in Montreal is NO. A few things to be aware of: 1)...

Around this time last year, Montreal mayor Denis Coderre announced publicly that he wanted to get rid of all erotic massage parlors in the city. Today, a year later, all of the respectable ones I am familiar with that advertise here are still around and seem to be doing fine. I expect a...

Under current prostitution laws incalls and escort agencies are already prohibited (keeping a common bawdy house; profiting from prostitution proceeds). Yet incalls/agencies are doing fine and business as usual with minimal LE interference in most aspects (except for cases when minors are...

Reminds me of my favorite scene from Deuce Bigelow, when Rob Schneider's gigolo character mistakenly picks up another prostitute thinking she was a client... Deuce Bigalow: Maybe we should take care of a little business first. Claire: If you prefer. Deuce Bigalow: I don't have a set price or...

I can't quite put my finger on it, but Montreal does feel less vibrant than it used to. Just everything from fewer active agencies, strip clubs seem dead, less hotties strutting around downtown, crescent st bars extending last call to bring in tourists, downtown hotels closing down/converting...

1 - Israeli (think Bar Refaeli) 2 - Brazilian (i.e. Gisele Bundchen, Alessandra Ambrosio) 3 - American (i.e. Kate Upton) 4 - Italian (i.e. Melissa Satta) 5 - British (i.e. Kelly Brook, Gemma Atkinson)

The term "boyfriend" can describe lots of relationships. Some SPs/MPs consider their pimp their bf. Some consider their sugardaddy their bf. Some consider their baby's father their bf. Some consider certain friends with benefits their bf. Modern boyfriend/girlfriend relationships can get...

Well partially the fact this winter has been way colder than normal in Toronto, with more snow and an ice storm, probably has something to do with why things are slower this time around. Probably less of a factor in montreal. But a few weeks ago I went to a popular strip club in MTL on Fri...

L.A. strip club scene sucks. Most of the talent work out in Vegas. If you are near Hollywood/Sunset Strip, I remember going to the Body Shop on Sunset. Mostly young inexperienced girls looking to make a few bucks, not serious strippers, but there used to be some pretty ones. A younger crowd...

You forgot about taxes in your math. $70k pre-tax is probably $40k take home net of tax. That leaves $3k a year for entertainment.

I have particular difficulty with the back of the throat "R" sound in French. Like at a strip club if a lady asks me if I want a dance, I usually say "non je suis correct", to which they usually reply "tu es quoi?!" I have moderate success understanding French conversations... Usually I can pick...

Thanks to everyone for their thoughts. Short answer seems to be to accomodate anglo MERB members and tourists. Makes sense. Just to clarify why i posed this question in the first place - I work in Montreal with both French and Anglo colleagues. When we get in the mood and need some female...
