Toronto’s own body-parts murder has forced the city to take a closer look at rub-and-tugs, erm, body rub parlours, after the victim was revealed to have been an ex-body rubber. (Yes, that’s actually the term used by the CBC.) Did you know, for instance, that body-rub parlours pay upwards of 11-grand for a licence and almost an equal amount in annual renewal fees—but that no more than 25 are allowed to operate in the city at one time? That’s a whole lotta do-re-mi! Alas, this CBC commentor has come up with a way to bring even more licence fees into the city’s coffers:
Now, I can’t say for sure, but I’m under the impression that the decision to go to a rub-and-tug is often made after excessive consumption of alcohol, not marijuana. On the other hand, a pot parlour combined with a pizza parlour sure smells like success to me!
