Do we have any friends who have a subscription to Law360? Need to read this article in the link posted below: “Supreme Court upholds constitutionality of two ‘commodification of sexual activity’ criminal offences.” It’s by Cristin Schmitz, not Debra Haak.

Today is International Day to End Violence Against Women, and we'd like to remind our community and allies that s*x workers MUST be included in this day.
Remember to hold all women, even those who don't meet the "perfect victim" criteria, in the fight against violence.

“If the Supreme Court decides they are unconstitutional, this could open the door for Parliament to rewrite a portion of the laws. If the court decides they are constitutional, this could fundamentally change how groups advocate for sex-worker rights.”

Rustad using the same encampment as Pierre Poilievre used in his “Everything Feels Broken” video, which was propaganda full of Trump-style lies about the causes of overdose deaths. Rustad, Poilievre, Trump all use the same poor-bashing, moral panic tactics.

I am disappointed that @Conservative_BC @JohnRustad4BC would use a homeless encampment to start their campaign. As a person who works hard at helping vulnerable people access harm reduction, recovery treatment, and housing services this isn't helpful. #bcpoli

@strippedbysia I’m sorry to hear that. Nothing worse than stigma from someone you trust.

I heard from the grapevine that a friend of mine is questioning how she expects me to me to raise future kids with the work that I do. This was a friend I’ve had for a LONG time. Disappointed.
