..........and this with several Conservative judges sitting on the Supreme Court Bench!  All 3 of the criminal code sections before the courts were shot down/overturned.  Without question this will make Sex Work safer for all involved.  Not only safer from the violence of individual perpetuators who approach Workers in the guise of purchasing their services, but also safer from the violence meted out at the hands of the state through police, prisons, stigma and discrimination!

What on earth is going on with our ultra conservative Canada?  Perhaps now is a good time to eliminate all drug charges from the law books too? 


NOT JUST THIS ONE

ASHELY SMITH MURDERED - RULES INVESTIGATING CORORNER

Finally someone is doing the right thing where 19 year old Ashley Smith is concerned.  The next step is to bring to justice the management officials who ordered front line guards not to intervene until Ashley was no longer breathing! The only people who have so far faced any kind of accountability (however limited) have been those front line guards.  Charges against the management were laid and almost immediately dropped.
