Sex Work and Politics: Do as I Say, Not as I Do

A left-leaning think-tank was targeted by the Canada Revenue Agency for a political activities audit last fall partly because the research and education material on its website appears to be "biased" and "one-sided."

Government auditing a think-tank for bias.  Got it.  Research and resulting policy suggestions must be holistic, unbiased, evidence-based.

Unless, of course, it's government that's in the driver's seat.

"It was a false consultation," Traynor said to a crowd of nearly 50 people who showed up to the rainy rally in Grand Parade.

"It was set up to give the government what they wanted."

A bill on Sex Workers that was crafted without the input of sex workers.  That, to me, sounds kinda biased.

Leaders set the example; when they choose to set a bad one, that's the lead that people follow.

This government feels entitled to create the reality they want and to shoot down those who feel differently.

Not a great example to set, this.  In fact, there's precedent for what happens when government besides they play by different rules.

It's time all of us start thinking ahead a bit more - this isn't a race to the finish line.  It's supposed to be democracy.
