Everything We Know About Toronto’s New Sex Doll Brothel

A new business advertising itself as North America’s first sex doll brothel—where customers can pay to have sex with high tech, silicone models—is slated to open early next month, in a low-key strip mall plaza in Toronto’s north end.
On September 8, Aura Dolls, which will be open 24 hours a day and seven days a week, will make its grand début at a small shopping centre near Yonge Street and Shepherd Avenue, taking over an old tanning spot next to a massage parlour, dry cleaner and nail salon.
...
Rates for personal time with the dolls are available on the company’s website, and range from $80 for 30 minutes with one doll to $960 for four hours with two. For its grand opening, Aura Dolls is offering 25 percent off all listed prices, and will soon be offering monthly packages (Bronze, Gold, and Platinum packages are all listed as “coming soon” under the website’s “rates” tab).

I just threw up in my mouth a little.

Is that a form of Beaver foreplay

Damn stupid idea as I see it but for how weird people can be it just might make money. I hope it doesn't.

This is bullshit for longtime home owners. They pay for 40 years and because prices around them go crazy they get taxed out of the neighborhood
but
The deferral option seems like a fair thing but how much can they do and for how long ?

Father-in-law has been deferring his property taxes since he retired some 15yrs ago or so. Only has to pay them back if he sells, or when his heirs inherit. He had to have at least 25% equity in the home (he owns it outright) and has to apply for the program each year. Nominal interest is applied (somewhere between 1 and 3% in BC), and he can pay back any or all of it at any time.
The province pays the annual bill to the muni, so it comes off the working Joe’s provincial taxes. Another huge subsidy to the boomers in the wealthy cities, but probably better than them losing the home and having to move in with the kids, or worse.

I don't see how this is a negative for the home-owners. They are perfectly free to sell their house, make a massive amount of money and move to a less expensive area (the island, interior, etc). Buying a house does not entitle you to unchanging taxes/bills/etc for the time you own the property. Life changes - get on with it. Life is about making sacrifices and compromises - give and take. Want to live in Vancouver, which is admittedly awesome for many reasons? The price to live in one of the most desirable locations in the world is it's expensive. Bring cash. And lots of it. Willing to live in Saskatchewan? The price you pay is living in Saskatchewan but your living expenses are significantly less.

What’s the negative? That real estate in Van or Vic has appreciated an insane amount in the past 15 yrs, or that people >55 or single parents under an income threshold can defer the property taxes against their home equity until the home is sold? Both seem a win for the homeowners.

My kingdom for the city of Saskatoon to be moved to where the present day Terrace B.C. is if we could keep the same living expenses. Great vibe; nicest people in Canada.

In a stunning blow, the Federal Court of Appeal has quashed the government's approvals to build the Trans Mountain expansion project — a major victory for Indigenous groups and environmentalists opposed to the $7.4-billion project.

a failure to consider tanker traffic safety and a failure to consult wih the FN

So did the feds still buy that white elephant pipline or can they say no deal ?

temporary setback. the killer whales will be appeased (they don't seem to mind the tankers visiting seattle area) and the f.n.'s will get further appeasing consultation. pipe will be laid circa 2025 just in time to address the coming global crude supply issues.

the seattle pod has not had a successful calf born in several years. the pod is not doing well. it probably relates to the reduction in salmon numbers

Fuck you Bra, I won't do whatcha tell me.

Waitress suing former boss who demanded she wear a bra to work

A waitress is suing her former boss for a breach of human rights after he said she must wear a bra at work. Christine Schell, 25, hasn’t worn a bra for three years for comfort and health reasons. When she started working at Greenside Grill in the Osoyoos Golf Club in British Columbia, Canada, in June this year, customers complained about her being braless – prompting management to introduce a new dress code.

Ms Schell refused to sign and was subsequently fired, she claims. She said she feels like she was forced out for refusing to go along with what she views as a sexist set of rules. Speaking to Global News she said: ‘I don’t think any other human being should be able to dictate another person’s undergarments.’ Ms Schell said she doesn’t want to work at the golf course again, but wants people to know about her case. ‘These things happen and these things aren’t right,’ she said.

How can I take sides without pictures of said breasts.

But.

If she's built like that teacher on South Park
Ms. Choksondik then I would side with her former employer

[reckless toboggan]

We live in a world, a world that requires data to make analyses and recommendation.

How can we live in a TGR thread devoid of data?

If you want answers, you must give us the tools necessary to seek the answers.

You certainly don't want us to figure and design those tools ourselves...think of the children.
