[SWAF-Potluck] Naughty School Boy

[Chenoa Johnston]

Hi Jules,

I wonder how old that post is?  The debates / testimony speeches before the
Senate were last summer with only a few extra in the fall.  I was on the
list to go in October before the Bill's final passing.  It did pass and the
Senate did not hear me speak, nor many others from across Canada who were
ready to speak! The Senate denied our requests and passed the Bill anyway.
I sent a long and detailed letter which was available for all Senators to
read. Any letter sent with the request to speak had to be circulated and
also posted on the Senate's website.

As the Bill had passed the only ways to overturn it are

1) a new government is voted in and they overturn it

2) someone is charged and they decide to make the case a Charter of Rights
Challenge and go all the way to the Supreme Court. ( which can take 5-10
years)

Vancouver is in favor of real safety issues of sex workers and we are
fortunate here that law enforcement is mostly on our side.

However any law enforcement agency can choose to enforce the laws as they
interpret them at any time - and leave it up to the prosecutors and courts
to hash it out.

sad sad stuff - rights and freedoms stampled!

much love, Chenoa
