Brampton council recently froze 2021 business licence fees for all businesses except one sector — adult entertainment.
According to Mayor Patrick Brown, the decision is part of an ongoing campaign to discourage adult entertainment businesses.
“I do not want for (the freeze) to include adult entertainment. This council took a very clear signal when it came to adult entertainment or massage parlours — that we wanted to make Brampton the worst place in the province to do business in those sectors,” he told council March 10. “It’s not a welcome addition to our community."

"There are sectors related to adult entertainment, that we are proud to have the highest licensing fees in the country now in Brampton as a deterrent that that's not the employment and businesses that we're looking for in our city," Brown added.
Currently, the city has several different types of licences for adult entertainment and shops, including three licence types for adult entertainment, three for body-rub parlours and two separate licences for stores selling adult merchandise. While other Brampton businesses will pay 2020 rates this year, the above listed categories are all looking at a hike.
This is the latest in a series of morality-based debates or positions Brampton council has taken recently aimed at local businesses.
At the same meeting March 10, council approved a resolution objecting to 7-Eleven Canada Inc.'s application to serve alcohol at two of its Brampton locations.

“The city reviewed the application and considered all the relevant aspects including: The location and adjacent land uses, the potential for the presence of underage persons within environments of serving liquor, noise, loitering and exterior lineups, wards 1 and 5 Coun. Paul Vicente told reporters during a Mar. 17 news conference, adding council wants more input in the final decision.

At its Jan. 27 meeting, council voted down a motion tabled by Ward 9 and 10 Coun. Harkirat Singh to send a letter to the provincial government requesting municipalities be allowed to limit the number of cannabis stores in their communities.
“I have been getting a lot residents concerned about the number of applications … I know it’s out of our hands to restrict the (number of stores)," Singh told council. “But, I just think it’s reasonable to ask the ministry and (the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario) if we could look at a cap.”

Exactly! what a f*cking hypocrite!

Brampton's loss will be Scarborough's gain.

All you are going to do is drive the sex industry underground in Brampton.

It won't go away.

It's like trying to ban freedom of thought, freedom of religion, freedom of association.

If you try to ban freedom of sex, people will just do it 'illegally'.

But one thing the mayor of Brampton makes clear is that he knows the sex industry has still operated during the pandemic.
His comments make that very clear.
Further proof that this entire lockdown is a big, fucking scam.

 

[sy barite]

I wonder how it is even legal for an elected official to say that we wants to make life difficult for a legal business.

I know that illegal things go on at these businesses--I count on it But this just underlines the incredible hypocrisy surrounding sex work in Canada. Here we have a fool saying he wants to target an entire industry, while happily collecting licensing fees. Only in Canada.
