Canada Bans Foreign Strippers
In an effort to protect women from exploitation, Canada is ending visas for foreign strippers.
Foreign escorts and massage parlor workers will also be banned.
The government says the move is to combat human trafficking but critics say the ruling Conservative Party is just being a bunch of prudes.
The government has issued 496 visas to exotic dancers since 2006, though just 12 were issued last year.
There are about 700 foreign strippers currently working in the country, but they won't be allowed to renew their one-year visas when they expire.
The Canadian immigration minister stated,
Advocates for the adult entertainment industry say that as long as these jobs are legal in Canada, the government is discriminating against valid workers.
A spokesman for the Adult Entertainment Association of Canada claimed, "They’re destroying the industry by creating a labor shortage...The word exotic means foreign, and that’s what people want to see."
Right. There will always be plenty of strippers. I love how something good is actually trying to be done and people can't seem to tuck their boners into their waistlines long enough to see the bigger picture. Sorry but finding fault in a movement such as this is just ignorant.

"The government cannot in good conscience continue to admit temporary foreign workers to work in businesses in sectors where there are reasonable grounds to suspect a risk of sexual exploitation."
