Municipal By-Laws Usually there are municipal zoning by-laws that cover massage parlours etc that are in a commercial place of business or have visible signage. There are radius restrictions in regards to schools and various other community centers etc. Such establishments do retain the...

Public Interest "Quebec is the only place in North America where photographers are required to get permission from the subjects of photographs that will be presented to the public. The only situations where such a permission is not mandatory is when the photo is of a crowd, if it's considered...

Trade Off And the right to life rights of children are they equal to those of alleged SWs / substance abusers? The area is populated with small kiddie parks and school yards where discarded NEEDLES and USED CONDOMS. Common sight on school yard fences and inside elementary schools is a...

Exceptions The seminal JDM story was centered around a drug den, photo of the building was included. Ergo the drug connection. You have the end of month part time SW who work a few days to make ends meet and for the most part are not substance abusers however they stay away from the drug den...

Quaint.................. EB, Perhaps you are being clever or you know more than you are letting on. The area is slowly gentrifying and it does draw student tenants from UQAM, McGill and Concordia because of the relatively inexpensive rents but they are found somewhat north of the area...

Oh Well............... Read and knew about it before it made the media. No one is saying things are fine but the situation will be handled as it has always been - without your contribution. You are talking about people who have the courage to live in a neighbourhood including a drug den...

Reality Considering that some of the parents, community activists, etc have been down that road they are quite capable of assessing the situation. Evidenced by their activities to date. Also some of the parents, given their affiliations, are very effective in this regard. Certainly they...

Actually Your misrepresentation and ignorance of the Hochelaga / Maisonneuve / Ville Marie area is quite startling. Using / dealing drugs is also illegal which is the root of the problem, compounded by the fact that at a certain point the drug dependent individual - the SW and the...

Background The seminal story appeared in the JDM a day previous to 24 Heures. From the mid eighties well into the mid nineties I worked security for a variety of community organizations in Hochelaga / Maisonneuve / Ville Marie. The street prostitution fueled by drugs was an issue at the...

Thank You Mod8, Thank you for your reasoned response. Will consider starting an appropriate thread shortly as time permits.

Key Issue Key issue still remains - getting the underage girls out of the sex trade.

Sticky Perhaps the chain of events started by the post in question will produce a "Sticky" outlining proper procedures for future situations where a suspicion exists that a provider is underage.

Step by Step Previously in another thread: https://merb.cc/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=52971&page=2 post #19, EB related how massage parlours in a certain jurisdiction in Connecticut fared. The one that played the game and approached the mainstream survived the one that did not failed...

The following posted elsewhere in cyberspace caught my attention: http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/Canada/2009/11/27/11949581-sun.html Basically it involves licensing sex trade workers and operators. Comments appreciated and encouraged

Back on Topic The seminal post raises a very valid issue that I think merits further analysis. Most of the shilling and related rule enforcement seems to have its roots in the "free advertising venues" with providers trying to cross over to "pay for advertising venues" for greater benefits...

Interesting First paragraph gives the impression that the locals may have jumped the gun. A city detective and a confidential informant went undercover to buy sex in Westville — and helped close down two massage parlors that cops believe may be part of an out-of-state Korean sex ring.

Federal MP#2,were they closed by the local police or the feds? From your description(bolded) sounds like "illegals" with money laundering possibilities.

Montreal Correct. Montreal Island has only one police force that is responsible for massage parlours specifically There may be overlap with other forces if drugs, underage, organized crime or gang issues are included in the mix. Massage parlours will get raided without complaints IF they...

Vinegar Not a fan of vinegar but do make an exception for BBQ. North Carolina BBQ tends to blend with Tennessee as you get away from the coast towards the mountains. One of the unique features of southern cuisine is the regional side dishes - hush puppies, grits, etc. Another is the soup...
