8/8     I'm going to Vancouver for two days. What did you guys do when
        you were there, and what did you like and didn't like?
        \_ I really liked the area around Mainland St. for restaurants and
           bars--check out Section(3) for good food.  The big park is nice,
           and the aquarium is kind of cool.  -John
        \_ Full nude strip bars serving alcohol with imported dancers.
           God Bless Canada.
                \_ Imported from where?
                   \_ All over (eastern Europe and Asia mostly). But they are
                      cracking down a bit.  See  http://csua.org/u/cyt (WS)
                      \_ According to this guy it's easier to get a
                         stripper visa than a nurse visa because
                         strippers are more in demand. Hooookay....
                         \_ This has been a pretty big problem. Immigration
                            now demands proof that you have been an active
                            exotic dancer before letting you in on a work visa.
                            That's easy next to proving to them that you're
                            a certified nurse. Plus there is the stigma of the
                            "bad job."
           \_ This is a joke right? My only images of Canada from media
              bombardment are their famous maple syrup and Canadian bacon.
              I haven't seen anything relating to strip bars or hooker or
              anything wonderful like that.
              \_ I forgot. Legal drinking age is 19 except for Alberta,
                 Manitoba and Quebec where it is 18.
                 \_ But they have shitty Canadian cigarettes.

        there a way I can make the immigration booth "stamp" both passports
        (not necessarily stamp, but electronically record) such that both
        countries know that I left US for country Z. Then, when I depart
        country Z and head back to US, only provide the US passport? I'd
        like to do this so country Z thinks that I am permanently residing

5/26    Is it correct to call someone the daughter of Puerto Rican

        \_ Yes it is correct.
           \_ Thanks! Obama immigrated from Hawaii, right?
              \_ Not the same.  Doubly not the same in the early 50s.  Go watch

Audrey Macklin says the real reason strip clubs want foreign dancers is t hat they are desperate and will do things Canadian women consider too un safe or demeaning. "What in fact the demand is for these days is for women to lap dance, and not just lap dance but basically to be on some guy's lap naked while he gropes her and may masturbate under her and that sort of stuff,'' Mackl in said in an interview Thursday. Sgro conceded Thursday that the foreign dancers "are ripe for exploitatio n,'' but insisted the program doesn't condone prostitution. She said she wants to tighten the rules for their work in Canada, but not to prevent them from coming. "When you talk to the women that are so desperate to find a way out of co untries they say, Please, keep this program because it does provide us with an opportunity . a chance of a better life,''' she said after a cabinet meeting. Last year more than 500 Romanians received temporary visas to come to Can ada under the program. The foreign dancers are often trained in other occupations such as nursin g and teaching. "Well, a lot of them are in fact trained in other occupations but we clai m not to need those occupations. "A lot of them actually have university education but this is where the d emand is and this is what the visas will be issued for. When he represented the industry, club owners lobbied to bring in foreign dancers because Canadian-born dancers were controlled by biker gangs, s aid Green. "I do know there has always been a shortage of women that want to work in these clubs. They're a critical sort of product in the entertainment in dustry that is not readily available in Canada. She said that is part of a strategy to keep them isolated and pre vent them from talking to people outside the industry. She said laws on permitted activities in strip clubs vary across the coun try, and are rarely enforced. "We're not doing a very good job of protecting (dancers) from abuse,'' sh e said.
