"Who the hell are you to tell me how to live?

You think I sell my body; I merely sell my time.

I ain't no Cinderella, I ain't waiting for no prince,

To save me in fact until just now I was doing just fine.

And on and on.."

"I know what degradation feels like

I felt it on the floor at the factory

Where I worked long before, I took control now I answer to me

The 50K I make this year will go anywhere I please

Where's the problem?"

Strippers, escorts should be added to job bank: Ottawa

Published on Wednesday October 13, 2010

Ottawa Bureau

OTTAWA—The Conservative government wants to help unemployed Canadians find careers as strippers and for-hire escorts.

According to a draft Oct. 1 memo obtained by the Star, Ottawa has determined these careers once considered “morally offensive” should be put on the federal government’s Job Bank, which is also available for use by the provinces.

The surprise memo from Human Resources and Skills Development Canada has set a few tongues wagging among those wondering how these careers suddenly became respectable, and how Conservatives could allow this to happen.

“This is such a contradiction for the holier than thou family values gang to all of a sudden endorse an escort service as a legitimate occupation for unemployed Canadian women,” NDP MP Pat Martin said.

Terri-Jean Bedford, the dominatrix who went to court and got Canada’s prostitution laws thrown out, said these are legitimate occupations and “it’s high time that people stop being so judgmental about another person’s occupation.”

“There are a lot of unsavory occupations that I would never apply for. Soldier being one of them and politician probably being another,” Bedford said.

The job posting change is at odds with the Conservatives’ outrage over the recent federal court decision stating that Canada’s prostitution violated the Constitution. The government immediately appealed the decision, saying “prostitution is a problem that harms individuals and communities.”

“This is appalling activity by our government because what they are really doing is promoting the subjugation of woman for the most part,” Charles McVety, the president of Canadian Christian College, told the Star.

“It is also hypocritical that this would this would be done under a Conservative government,” he said.

The draft policy, which has yet to be implemented, stated that the following occupations will “be acceptable for posting on Job Bank”:

Exotic dancer, erotic dancer, nude dancer, striptease dancer and table dancer.

Escort, chat line agent, phone agent for personal services and telephone agent for personal services.

Many of these occupations in a 2003 memo from Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRDC) were described as being “morally offensive by the majority of Canadians.”

It is not the first time that strippers have caused problems for the federal government of the day.

In 2004, the opposition called for then immigration minister Judy Sgro’s resignation over her office’s decision to extend a residence permit to a Romanian stripper, and Ottawa’s controversial program to allow foreign strippers to get special work visas.

“The Conservatives were all over that,” recalled McVety, “that’s why I’m a little incredulous that a Conservative government would do this.”

it´s simple math WHY STRIP CLUBS ARE BETTER THAN MANY GIRLFRIENDS...

Strip Club (one night):

"entry fee": 50 bucks

"dance": 150

beer (all night): 60

"happy ending": 300

total: 560 (less if you skip the "dance" and drink only a few beers) and you will do PRECISELY what you want and she will not want "have a conversation" with you tomorrow...

Girlfriend: (one night)

fuel (will be your car of course!): 70

restaurant: 300 (if she doesn´t ask for the most expensive meal)

movie: 50 (movie+snacks) and the movie will be that annoying romance with a stupid vampire...

gifts, jewelry, miscellaneous items: 150

Total: 570 bucks. but there´s no guarantee that you will have sex with her, probably you will have to spend more 700 bucks to finally have something interesting with her. and the fact that she wants have a "conversation" with you tomorrow and the FBI/KGB (her father) is tracking you...

so. until you find the girl of your life to marry and have kids, go to the strip club! it´s easier, faster, better, cheaper and if you are shy they (girls) help you!

it should be included even on health plan :)

They need to find something to do other than preventing consenting adults from doing what they choose to do.

I have to wonder if some these dudes are doing this as a pathetic attempt to get laid by pretending to be a gentleman.

Psssh, look at all the people trying to shut down the oilsand!. That's actively trying to make hundreds of thousands of people loose their jobs!

Of course, they don't exactly teach basic financial abilities at school so why expect anyone to think of those things?

One could point out it's looking down one's nose to call the Canadian public fiscally incompetent but given the average persons debt to income ratio is at an all time high one could counterpoint that it's already been mathematically proven!
