"Ontario resident Naomi Baker, who recently founded the non-profit group Canada Fights Human Trafficking, said Craigslist should shut down its erotic services section in Canada, in keeping with its decision in the U.S.

“That portion of Craigslist should not even be legally on there,” she said.

“How do you govern that? How do you let some people on and some people off if you think it's human trafficking? You can't govern it, it's a can of worms.”

Ms. Baker said the organization will be training volunteers from its British Columbia chapter to respond to an expected increase in human trafficking cases during the 2010 winter Olympics in Vancouver.

Law enforcement officials say predators who lure young victims into the sex trade don't face much of a deterrent because unlike in the United States, Canada does not have a mandatory minimum sentence for trafficking people under 14.

Arsenault said there's little understanding, even among law enforcement officials and prosecutors, about human trafficking, which is often equated with human smuggling.

But people don't have to be transported across international borders to be sold into sexual slavery. Sgt. Arsenault said pimps often move underage people from one province to another in Canada.

The RCMP has said between 800,000 and four million people worldwide are victims of human trafficking and the industry is almost on par with drug smuggling when it comes to the billions of dollars it generates."

I guess the ads will appear in the Buy and Sell and Georgia Straight like in the old days then. Expect the SPs rates to rise as a result.

Isn't is amazing that whenever prostitution is mentioned in the media
like in this case with CL how everything is related to "human trafficking" Why don't they mention that most of the girls
who do this for a living do it on there own free will?

Kinda reminds me of those AMP raids a couple years back where
it was all done on the notion of finding illegal aliens.

Oh how the media loves to put their own spin on things to influence
the casual reader of such crap.
I give up.
