A fascinating story here in Street Roots by a former student of mine at Kwantlen, Steve Smysnuik, who has done a solid job of reporting on the sex-trade problem that no one has paid much attention to for a few decades in this city.
(I don’t claim to have taught Steve any of his reporting skills, since he only did History of Journalism with me, but he clearly has them since he recently got hired as an intern at the Toronto Star.)

Thanks for posting this link. Definitely a topic that gets insufficient attention.

Yes, thanks Frances. I really like the heads up about interesting articles that I’d otherwise miss.
Alsoy-I popped in earlier and noticed there were no comments. Not enough to fight about I guess.
