CANADA - Canada’s ’most famous dominatrix’ booted from prostitution-law hearings
The controversial, leather-clad woman at the heart of the effort to rewrite Canada’s prostitution laws delivered an unexpected whip-crack of drama Wednesday among the buttoned-down senators examining Bill C-36.
Terri-Jean Bedford, who calls herself “the most famous dominatrix in Canada,” threatened to expose politicians who supposedly avail themselves of the world’s oldest profession.
“If this law passes I’m going to make you guys forget about Mike Duffy, because I’ve got more information and more proof on politicians in this country than you can shake a stick at, I promise,” she said.
It’s not the purview of the government to tell women when or how they can or cannot sell sex, she argued, whip in hand.
She was later tossed out of Senate hearings on the legislation after exhausting the patience of Conservative committee chair Sen. Bob Runciman.
Bedford was one of three sex workers who successfully challenged the original law before the Supreme Court on the grounds that it violated their Charter right to security of the person.
The high court gave the government a year to come up with an alternative.
That alternative is Bill C-36, which treats prostitutes as victims, seeking to protect them from almost all criminal prosecution except in circumstances where they are selling sex near a daycare, playground or school.
