Alberta MLA caught in U.S. hooker sting gets ringing endorsement – from hookers

    This is probably support Mike Allen can do without.

    The northern Alberta MLA who quit the governing Progressive Conservative caucus after being arrested in a U.S. prostitution sting last summer is getting backing from perhaps an unwelcome quarter – prostitutes.

    Something called the Canadian Adult Entertainment Commission says Allen wouldn't be in hot water if he'd dealt with his, ah, needs back home in Canada, instead of while on government business in St. Paul, Minn.

    Prostitution is legal in Canada (though solicitation is not), and Alberta sex workers "are pleased to consider respectful requests for personal services," the group said in a news release.
    "In addition, sex workers in Mr. Allen's riding of Fort McMurray-Wood Buffalo want him to continue as their MLA," said the release. "We feel he made a mistake taking his business out of Alberta to puritan St. Paul, Minnesota, but sex workers in his constituency are still pleased to have an MLA who values the services they offer."

    Allen, 51, was arrested in July by St. Paul police who'd set up a sting operation. Allen, in the city to attend a legislative conference, was snared when he called a number listed in an online erotic ad and set up a meeting with what turned out to be a female undercover officer, according to court documents obtained by The Canadian Press.

    He was charged with soliciting a prostitute, a gross misdemeanour that carries a maximum one-year jail sentence and a US$3,000 fine, CP said.

    ... that line says it all. the government-controlled news media's snobbery is appalling. their heads are too high in the clouds to have any relevance for the canadian public. what have they got against prostitutes anyway? the news media are all just a bunch of bigots!

    Oh well, you know what they say. Trespassers will be prostituted.
