There’s been a significant amount of buzz around around Saint John about the idea of fining sex workers for jaywalking
In fact, at least 75 people protested Thursday in support of sex workers rights on the back of a controversial motion floated by Councillor Susan Fullerton last week.
Councillor Shirley McAlary tells CHSJ News she’s heard from a lot of constituents and none of them have been in favour of singling out one group when enforcing the by-law. McAlary, who voted against the motion, says police have better things to do and at the end of the day it’s up to them.
Further, she says the only reason the motion got so much support among her fellow Councillors is that they probably didn’t fully understand it.
