[SWAF-Potluck] Charter challenge

[Andrew Sorfleet]

Hi SWAF!

I usually refrain from posting news articles here.

But, in this case I justed wanted to let people know in case you haven't heard about the case in London, Ontario. A couple who were running an escort service had their charges for human trafficking dropped yesterday. They will be challenging their remaining charges under the new law, s.286 for advertising the services of another, and material gains from another's sex work. They have a very good lawyer from Toronto, James Lockyer. They will be arguing that these new laws violate Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Could be quite important we have a big Red Umbrella March this year!

In solidarity,
Andy
