The honest answer is that it comes down to management balancing risk. Police being concerned could effect their liquor licence. What can they get away with; or what will provoke the police to intervene. Nothing makes a dance with curtains or without more or less legal.

The first part is really simple. If you're paying for a dance, it's illegal. The second part, are the Montreal police going to charge. The answer is, not in the last 10 years while it's been illegal. You don't have to touch; if you paid to get aroused, by the definition set by the Court of Appeal, it's prostitution. When Campus first started you could have a table dance, or go in the back. Based on the current definition, both would be prostitution. And need I repeat, the decision of the Court of Appeal was in 2010, and it hasn't been applied since.

I know you're right. But every now and then someone should remind us he's a troll.

"A thirty second walk". You're clearly in better shape than I am. The distance from Stock to the Square is 7 blocks; or, to be precise a quarter of a mile (I used MapMyRun). It takes me, at a brisk walk, from 5 to 10 minutes (depending on the number of gin & tonics). But you had to have known that the "thirty seconds" "one-block", etc.comments were absurd. I don't understand why you like picking fights and looking boorish.

Both University health centres/hospitals are Mega hospitals. CHUM on the corner of Rene Levesque and St Denis, and MUHC in the Glen just west of Westmount.

The hospital you went to was St. Luc. The newest university hospital is located where St. Luc used to be. Montreal now has two university hospitals or health centres. The University of Montreal Health Centre (CHUM) is at Ste Catherine and St Denis. https://www.chumontreal.qc.ca Those five or six black towers shown on their home page are all part of the centre. The one you see flying into Montreal is the McGill University Health Centre which is further from downtown towards the west. https://muhc.ca
