A bunch of losers went out and threw Nazi salutes in Alberta, Canada yesterday while holding racist signs. Might be time for the media to stop calling them “hand gestures” and start reporting on this big fucking problem for what it is!

    I don’t think prostitution is ever going to be legalized in Canada (or USA).

        I meant it will never be fully legal.

        What you said is like saying owning a gun is legal but buying ammo for it is illegal.

        One is pointless without the other.

            What do you believe my opinion is exactly? I’m not sure you know what my opinion on this matter is, so I am genuinely curious what you believe it is.

                So you think it will become fully legalized? We’ve just had a fairly progressive government for how many years, and now we have a new government coming who will want to practically ban porn and introduce digital ID verification through those sites (to start, let’s see if it doesn’t spread to other sites). You really think we’re going to become more progressive about this in the future and fully legalize it?

                  Yes, I do believe we are moving towards fully legalized prostitution.

                  We had a somewhat progressive government being harried by reactionary dolts who can’t accept modernity.

                  Thinking it will never be fully legalized is accepting defeat.

                  Thinking the cons are going to get in before the election is called is accepting defeat.

                  Progress takes work, negativity allows the shit stains to move us backwards.

      No no, we do talk about it a lot. It may not be close but it could happen.

      Not in Alberta, no. But in Canada, yes.
