Interesting article in the Globe today,
" TRSS’s findings – which were shared exclusively with The Globe and will be provided to law enforcement agencies across Canada this week
– were based in part on an in-depth assessment of data scraped from online review boards used by men to find Canadian businesses that provide “happy ending” sexual services. "
“There’s so much money that’s being made in the informal or shadow economy that we are just barely scratching the surface,”
said Heather Fischer, senior adviser for human rights crimes at TRSS, who previously served as the White House special adviser for human trafficking.
It is estimated that illicit massage businesses in Canada and the United States together generate proceeds of roughly US$2.5-billion a year.

There are bad actors in every industry, even the anti-trafficking non-profit organizations, it's big business, ever wondered why?
We should all be fighting for decriminalization, you don't have to look far (ie down south) to see what happens if things go the other way.
Big nets catch good fish too, this is why it's important to have community, and why it's important that we as a community police our own,
as consumers we shop ethically, and why we need to support each other and work together to normalize standards and protect people.
Articles like this do more harm than good, and the fear we all live in of stigmatization makes it hard to want to talk openly about these topics.
