During sentencing arguments at the Montreal courthouse on Wednesday, prosecutor Gianni Cuffaro asked Quebec Court Judge Jean Pierre Boyer to consider that the drug Roy (Capone) Haynes Jr. was dealing âis highly addictive and contributes to problems like violence and prostitution.â
Cuffaro asked that Haynes be sentenced to a 10-year prison term, while defence lawyer Claude Olivier requested a suspended sentence or one that could be served in the community.
Boyer said he will render his decision on Feb. 16.
Haynes, 35, was arrested along with 51 others in 2008 in a Montreal police investigation dubbed Project Satellite targeting the Outlaws, a gang run by Haynes that operated in western Montreal.
…
Haynesâs right-hand man in the Outlaws, Ishi Milton (Ice) Samuels, 33, received a 78-month prison term in January 2010 after he pleaded guilty to participating in a criminal organization, drug trafficking, conspiracy to traffic and living off the avails of prostitution.
She had her 15 minutes, telling her story in newspapers and on TV before the media’s short attention span turned elsewhere. A former sex worker herself, Donovan approached Roxx in 2005. The two began to meet at irregular intervals, leading to this revealing, often troubling portrait of a vulnerable young woman who makes a series of dubious decisions and has to live with the escalating consequences.
The relationship between Donovan and Roxx is part of the story from the outset, as the director tracks down her subject in a psych ward in 2005, and admits to feeling uncomfortable turning on the camera.
A year later, we are at the home of Roxx’s mother as she and her daughter look through old photographs. “T’étais pas un bébé malheureux,” her mom says, explaining that it was as a teen that her daughter began to rebel.
Stints in youth detention followed, leading to work as a stripper, then an escort. But Roxx was also a dreamer. She went to L.A. hoping to make some fast cash, come home and start a new life.

M: You don’t pass judgement on people in the industry, but you don’t shy away from showing the dark side, either. Was that a hard balance to strike?
MD: There’s sort of this sex-positive, sex worker empowerment movement going on, and I think that kind of casts a shadow over the bad experiences. I think most people that have really bad experiences—whether it’s in the porn industry or in their personal lives—those are the things that people are most ashamed about talking about. So it takes a lot more courage for people to come forward and be like, “This happened to me.” That’s why I find Lara so courageous. It’s a lot easier for a girl to come out and be like, “I love having sex! I love my job!”
Valerie, a former sex worker and consultant for the project, explained that she feels she is better able to help victims of sexual exploitation in Montreal because she has been able to identify with them.
“I lived the same things they live, I am the person who does everything the police cannot understand,” she said. “[The police] can say they understand what [sex workers] live, but it’s not true. I am the one that can truly say that.”
…
Émilie Laliberté, director general of Stella – a Montreal-based sex worker advocacy group – explained that, although the project addresses some issues, it leaves the fundamental problems for sex workers unresolved.
“The real problem here, especially regarding sex work, is that sex work is being criminalized, so if you really want to make a change and have the women come forward and press charges when they do suffer an assault, they shouldn’t be the ones considered criminals,” said Laliberté.

During my early years as a baseball beat writer, Montreal was one of my favorite cities to visit before MLB moved the Expos to D.C. I loved it at four-day increments. But I wouldn’t want to live there. If I lived in Canada, Toronto would be more my speed.
(One day I’ll tell you about the crazy Mets interleague series in 2000 when in one game at Skydome strippers went to promote their club by unfurling a banner and exposing their breasts overlooking one of the hotel rooms at Skydome. For about an inning, it seemed as though all the Mets and Blue Jays were at the top steps of the dugouts focused on the left fielder until we realized what they were looking at. As if that weren’t enough that day, security had to come to another bedroom behind right field to tell a couple that their lovemaking was in full view and that they needed to close the curtains. Crazy times in Toronto, I tell you.)
It’s the kind of festival where you spend a dinner regaling British journalists with stories of what is “typical” in Madison, Wisc., and then ride on a bus to a Spanish restaurant next to the head of Jagjaguwar, and he will tell you stuff about Here We Go Magic’s new album that you’re afraid to print (expect it to be good, pretty much).
Sure, this kind of thing happens at SXSW, and many other festivals, but up here, it often feels like the main attraction, as panels and networking sessions are consumed as vociferously as concerts. And really, this festival is less about the actual bands, than about the idea of Montreal as a musical center, selling dozens of “international delegates “on how awesome Montreal is. It’s a pretty easy sell: Montreal is a great city, with a vibrant nightlife and cheap booze. It’s just as easy to fall down a hole of alcohol and strip clubs here as it is to fall into performance spaces and many, many bands.

LONGUEUIL, Que. – Police in Longueuil, Que., have confirmed that a father and son whose bodies were discovered in an apartment above a strip bar this week were the victims of homicide.
The deaths bring the total number of killings in Longueuil, a suburb of Montreal, this year to six, compared to just two in 2010. No arrests have been made in connection with the case.
…
Louiselle Roy, a nearby resident, said she had a nodding acquaintance with the father who moved in above the strip club about three years ago, describing him as “a quiet man.”
…
Dave Montigny, one of two registered owners of the building and operator of the strip club, echoed Roy, saying the father was a quiet man who “did a bit of maintenance” at the building.
MONTREAL РControversy has erupted over Crazy Horse, a new documentary about nude Paris dancers by acclaimed U.S. filmmaker Frederick Wiseman, at the Rencontres internationales du documentaire de Montr̩al.
In a letter to festival organizers, 20 filmmakers, producers and cinephiles who saw the film, as well as nine others who didnât, called it âcomplacent and sexistâ and the wrong choice as the festâs opening movie.
Shot in high-definition over nine weeks in the famous Crazy Horse de Paris strip club, the movie goes behind the scenes to show voluptuous dancers and their choreographers preparing a new show.
The 134-minute documentary screened on Nov. 9 and again Nov. 12 as part of a retrospective of 11 films from Wisemanâs oeuvre from 1967 to 2011. Crazy Horse premiered without controversy in September at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Several intercepts, made from listening devices placed in the family’s minivan, home and on Hamed’s cellphone in the days leading up to their July 22, 2009, arrests, were played in court Monday. Shafia largely dominates the conversations, lamenting the fact that his daughters were dating, and ranting about family honour.
Court has heard that much of the family turmoil surrounded Zainab and her boyfriend, whom she married for one day, and relatives have testified that Shafia wanted to kill her. Yahya is heard on one intercept saying she knew Zainab was “already done,” but she wishes the “two others” weren’t.
“No Tooba, they were treacherous,” Shafia says, likening them to prostitutes. “When I tell you to be patient, you tell me that it is hard. It isn’t harder than watching them every hour with (boyfriends). For this reason whenever I see those pictures, I am consoled.
