The was a Conservative attack ad in the recent Canadian election that says in Chinese that the Liberals will make brothels open in Canadian neighborhoods.
Obviously this was a really stupid move. Good thing the Conservatives lost.

- logicchains 11y agoI find this ironic, as I've lived in a few cities in mainland China and it was almost impossible to walk more than a couple blocks without seeing a "massage parlour" or the like. In spite of it being nominally illegal there, China seems a lot more tolerant of prostitution than the average US/Canadian city, so I don't imagine an ad like this would have much effect.
- beachstartup 11y agothis is not ironic at all. do you know why people immigrate from places like china to places like canada? maybe the fact that there's a brothel every 2 blocks in china has something to do with it.

None of the Chinese I know here in Australia came here for that reason, and I certainly can't see them changing their votes based on a party's attitude towards brothels. Although I suppose prostitution being legal here may have something to do with that; the ones who were hated it enough to migrate away from it obviously wouldn't migrate to a country where it's legal.
- smegel 11y agoI don't get it. Were the Chinese worried about the competition?
