Ontario tells Craigslist to axe prostitution ads now:

Two weeks after craigslist shut down the adult services section in the U.S. the provincial government of Ontario sent a letter to craigslist asking for them to do the same in their province. Craigslist responded by asking for a meeting with government officials. The Ontario government doesn’t want a meeting. They want erotic services gone and they want it gone yesterday.

“You have recently expressed an interest in meeting with us, but have not yet taken any steps to implement any such protections in Canada,” Bentley wrote to Craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster.

“The urgency to protect Ontario’s most vulnerable citizens cannot hinge on a meeting, and we expect you to begin removing this content without delay.”

Craigslist, as usual, is up to their old tricks. There was no response from them to the Canadian media. Didn’t they learn from what happened here in the U.S.? Yet they are still pussyfooting around with governments trying to avoid removing the ads that exploit women and children all across Canada.

How does that saying got about those who forget the past?
