MONTREAL—Montreal’s mayor wants to get rid of so-called erotic massage parlours that have multiplied throughout the city.
Denis Coderre says he has plans to introduce a new bylaw with hefty fines attached.
Erotic massage parlours often obtain a permit as a legitimate massage business, hiding their true purpose.
Coderre says more inspections are necessary and that he wants to harmonize the way permits are doled out in Montreal’s 19 different boroughs.
He told an unrelated news conference today that the person taking over the public security portfolio within his council will make this initiative a priority.
The mayor says he’s making tackling prostitution — in particular juvenile prostitution — a priority.
The RCMP recently noted that such parlours are a gateway for moving human-trafficking victims into prostitution.
An RCMP spokeswoman estimates there are nearly 350 illicit massage parlours currently operating in Montreal.
Ya man that's what I say. He's a fuck-up, but he tells it like it is and he apparently has done what he has said he will do. Can't fault a politician for that.
I'm frankly slightly disappointed in the revelation he's given up drinking! Probably just a political ploy to be on his best behavior until he gets reelected!
Cold turkey's toughest moment IMO will be when the wifeee wants him to go down on her! Wonder when the last time he had to do it sober? Think it all the through big guy!
