I would suggest not directly following the link but using the right click menus to "Copy link address" and pasting that into your browser's URL box. Who knows who is watching the web logs for refers.
To claim an "Exclusive" by trolling through Perb and writing down general addresses is ultra lame.
Good journalism doesn't try to produce fear but this piece is filled with McCarthy like tones.

The article sure doesn't paint a positive picture of this board and the people on it.
Just once I would like to see someone in the mainstream media in Canada point out something that should be obvious. There are thousands of women in Canada who work as escorts and MPAs. If there are 350 MPs in the Toronto area alone, with several MPAs at each, that's probably 2000 already, before you count escorts and the rest of the country.
It becomes difficult for the prohibitionists to keep pretending all of these women are coerced into the business. It also becomes difficult for the cops and politicians to keep dishonestly pretending the laws are being enforced.
The Sun today also has the first of a four part editorial, "The urgent need to reform prostitution laws", saying "For the next three days, The Vancouver Sun will examine Canada's prostitution laws to determine how the law places prostitutes at risk, and how law reform might reduce and ultimately eliminate that risk." I don't know what it will be about for the next three days, but today it's entirely about the soliciting/public communicating law, again making the incorrect assumption that sex trade equals street walkers and nothing else.

LOL... tis true.static said:
Don't you think that there are some other boards who would have given anything to be mentioned like that in the mainstream press?
In most cases i would say yes, but not in this one.static said:
Just look at the dealers selling pot at Da Kine. They are under attack from LE because the media can't write enough about their illegal activity. The media these days seem all to eager to inform us about the moral dilemma plaguing Vancouver.
PERB doesn't need a bunch of new members sticking their noses where it doesn't belong. Attention being brought to PERB in this manner is not good, as far as i'm concerned. --- Kev
