"I thought sex-tourism was one of our biggest industries. What are all the visiting dignitaries going to do for escorts during the Olympics ?"

"Really this is in response to the change in demographics, the complaints and the comments we have been receiving in increased numbers from the new residents in there, and that is how we are approaching it," Houghton said.
Lol. Sure, Deputy Dog. It has nothing to do with the olympics or nothing.
I'm sure all those special olympic access lanes were also by public demand too.

A proposed B.C. law would allow municipal officials to enter homes to seize unauthorized and possibly anti-Olympic signs on short notice, civil libertarians say.
Violators could be fined up to $10,000 a day and jailed up to six months, the B.C. Civil Liberties Association said Friday.

I saw that.. then the police came out saying they weren't by-law enforcers also.
The proof will be in the doing.

This is hilarious, yet saddening and angering all at once.

We all saw it coming, just another step in the Farce that is the 2010 Olympic routine

This is funny because in Germany, where prostitution is legal (at least they finally figured out "if you can't beat them, tax them!) during World Cup the state set up make shift brothels near the stadiums for people.

Yeah, I wouldn't use that as a source of info if I were you. I would treat it as one would treat wikipedia, with extreme prejudice. It may hold facts but some can be twisted until it no longer resembles what the truth is. That and they love Kevin Annett the babbling conspiracy theorist. Anyone who uses Kevin Annett as fact already gets a failing grade in my book. It would be like calling Mohawk Nation News, well...news.
As for the prostitutes, what are they using to move them? Are they using that old vagrancy charge to move them along? I say they should let them stay but let's have them play the game. The prostitutes can be left where they are if they don't mind being busted over and over again the old fashioned way using sting operations. Let's see who wins. My money is on the cops.
And no, I honestly think the prostitutes should not be moved along but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be left alone.
