Kuwaiti investors are looking into building a $200 million oval speedway near Fort Erie, Ontario (just across the river from Buffalo). The intention would obviously be to get Nascar and IndyCar races, yet both would probably not be interested, since they already race at Watkins Glen (and in...

I don't see Toronto having F1 any time in the near future. If the promoter in Montreal is no longer willing to pay the price, I doubt there is one who would for Toronto, since unlike Montreal it would also require building a completely new track. It has been suggested by some that the federal...

Customers certainly have been arrested and charged as "found-ins" in other cases, without being naked or caught in the act of doing anything except being unlucky enough to be present when the arrests are made. A raid will occur only after police have already investigated, usually over a...

I think attitudes will start to change when more people realize that the large cities have thousands of women working in the business, including many who are university students. The media and most people seem to be unaware or unwilling to acknowledge the situation, but once they do, eventually...

If you write to Members of Parliament, you can ask them to look at a recent government report in New Zealand. http://www.justice.govt.nz/prostitution-law-review-committee/publications/plrc-report/index.html "Positive review for sex trade legalisation" http://www.stuff.co.nz/4558286a11.html...

On the rare occasions when he writes on the subject, Dan Gardner is just about the only mainstream columnist who seems to have done enough real research to understand the business. His Friday column related to the Spitzer situation, but also pointed out that Victor Malarek and a couple of U.S...

This is the second time in the last couple of weeks I've read a ridiculous fabricated claim that "90 per cent" are forced into the business. http://www.canada.com/montrealgazette/columnists/story.html?id=7a78a552-adf4-4fdc-8af8-687906935f2a&p=2 At least the Gazette printed a response...

To continue on the subject of Victor Malarek, which arose in this Merb thread started in March by CaptRenault: Malarek is still ridiculously trying to tell anyone left who will listen to him that the "vast majority" of sex workers in Canada are foreign women kidnapped, held prisoner, and...

The arrangement in Canada allows and encourages even some of the supposedly reputable and well-known agencies to get away with fake and misleading photos and descriptions, not to mention shill reviews. And understandably, few women are willing to have pictures on the net showing their faces. I...

The individual Australian states and territories have their own laws. http://www.scarletalliance.org.au/laws/index_html Most of the states have legal brothels, and they have been operating openly in Western Australia for many years despite the fact that their laws are much like Canada's...

Paying for sex is a crime. Allowing a premises to be used for prostitution is a crime. Anyone assisting or helping prostitution to take place is committing a crime, which apparently even applies to prostitutes helping each other. http://www.bayswan.org/swed/swed_law.html Somehow, I don't...

If you mean "better or worse" for the sex workers, from all the articles on the bayswan.org link it sure appears Swedish sex workers are very much against the prohibition there. I have yet to read anything from an actual sex worker recommending Sweden's system. Why would anyone want their...

You can get some idea by using google translation or another online translator. More today in The Calgary Herald from Art Hanger, the former vice cop who was the Conservative MP on the parliamentary committee, who insists all sex workers are victims because "prostitution is, has been, and...

Legal sex workers report high job satisfaction That is from Australia, where most states now officially allow legal brothels, but I assume the results would be similar here. But of course the media here isn't interested in reality or the truth, and instead the Gazette today prints quotes from...

A columnist in (NY) Newsday, James P. Pinkerton, apparently was not impressed by the presence of the Montreal-based organization Stella http://www.chezstella.org/stella/?q=en/toronto2006 at the International AIDS Conference in Toronto. AIDS activists misguided in goal to legitimize...

Daytona has night racing on both the 2½ mile oval and the more than 3 mile road course, although that involves sports cars with lights. Lighting a road course like Nurburgring, Monza, or Silverstone well enough for television would be more difficult than an oval, where the light stands can be...

NASCAR has some night races, I assume to also attract the higher primetime TV ratings. Maybe F1 would be wise to consider putting lights around some of their European circuits.

But why would it have more viewers than any other F1 race during the year? The only factor I can think of is the different time zones might put it on live European TV during their prime time.

I'm in Toronto, and it wasn't exactly a huge story in the news here, and I don't think there was much "fuming". I would assume it received more attention in Montreal since the case was about two clubs there. There was a pair of opinion articles on the same page of one newspaper (I think The...

I think there's some SPs who only work on a very limited part time basis, see only a very small number of regular clients, and don't want or need any advertising. They may have another regular career, and may have met their clients through another SP they know, through being a dancer in SCs, or...
