Well, I am sure this is old news... but haven't seen a discussion of this locally. I wonder what this will mean for the future of P411?
...this sucks, I renewed my membership last month. Sigh.
from 411:
In the next month or two, we will be making some changes to the site.*
This will be in order to conform with Bill C36, which is expected to be passed into Canadian law before the end of the year. The new law will address the mention of sexual activities on escort ad sites. While advertisements of*time*in exchange for money will continue to be legal, there can no longer be any reference to activities a provider might enjoy, even if only in their private life and not available for a fee.*
For this reason, it's very likely that the activity lists and Ad Board will be removed.*
We don't want to make these changes. However, it appears as though we will have no choice. We'll be waiting to see exactly what will be passed into law, and consulting with our advisors, but these are the steps expected to be taken.*
Preferred411 will continue to operate as a completely legal Canadian business long into the future, even if that means some changes have to be made.*
If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us.
