Luv2play Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I also heard that Toronto is in lockdown..... Toronto is in some ways worse off than Montreal in terms of the pandemic but does not have a curfew. They are now preventing interprovincial travel for non essential purposes so I couldn't go to Montreal even if I wanted to, which I don't. This must be hurting some escorts as the travel limitations are cutting off some of their clients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This doesn't seem to hurt escort as much as strippers I guess because escorts are able to freely promote themselves on Onlyfans unlike strippers.

Why can't strippers have an Onlyfans site? They are often better looking than many escorts. cany10011 and Lazarus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itsmehere Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Why can't strippers have an Onlyfans site? They are often better looking than many escorts. The problem is though male dancers seem to be a bit secretive about their adult lifestyle, they just want their info to be inside the strip club. There are exception of course (i.e Malik) but for most I think they want to keep a secret. I've asked strippers if they have an Onlyfans or at least an Instagram profile. Most won't answer or tell you about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are exception of course (i.e Malik) but for most I think they want to keep a secret.... Interesting. My recent experience in Montreal has been different. For a long time, most dancers ("strippers") were very discreet about whether they escorted ("did privates"). If you asked whether a dancer was willing to come back to your hotel, the answer was almost always "no" until he knew you well enough to trust you, and even then, many would take precautions like leaving the bar separately from you. That seems gradually to have changed. Now it is not uncommon to find dancers advertising on the escort sites. And I quite regularly am solicited for hotel visits during a private dance...or sometimes at the bar before I've even asked to do a private dance.

I would be lucky if they can even join up in your hotel. How far do they go when they want to "escort"?. Do you think their sexuality(I.e being bisexual) could affect their decision to escort?.

Atlanta_Guy Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 very few of the dancers in Montreal will do gay porn beyond a solo. Maybe 1 in 50. Maybe 1 in 100. Most do seem to be discreet. I never asked a dancer for a private, always waited on them to ask me. Several years ago I left with a very sexy guy (dancer a) and one of the other dancers saw me leave. (dancer b) I always did dances with dancer b. The very next night after sharing a few drinks we went to the back for dances.. before they started this dancer wanted to know why I had never asked him for a private. I told him I never ask dancers for private shows. I only went with guys that asked me. Which led to the.... ok, I’m asking u now”. I said ok and quoted a price.. which led to the “what will we do?”question and an ask for more $$$. We came to an agreement which was my original price. Had a really good time later than evening at my hotel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirBillybob Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 I think that if Bar Stock had anticipated the duration of lockdown and the loss of livestream revenue they might have initiated an Onlyfans site for the establishment. As far as Instagram goes, most of the dancers have personal accounts, some private some not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boy4 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 From StockBar FB page... Yes! We will be open soon... We need the government`s approval to open and when those restrictions are lifted, hopefully, the USA/Canadian border will open too. We are looking forward to seeing everyone this summer.

EZEtoGRU Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 I predict that bars/restaurants in Montreal will be allowed to open within the next 60 days. I would guess it will be somewhere between late May and early June... but for sure, by the end of June. As far as the US/Canada border goes, this is tougher to predict. My guess is that it will re-open to vaccinated individuals anywhere from late July to late September. If Canada's vaccination rate continues accelerating, a July re-opening looks more likely. I have no particular insight on any of this. Just going with my gut feeling. Anyway, re-opening is in sight now! Chidude 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you spoke the truth, EZE, you would show the "HATE" I have for Montreal. Further more, as pointed out to you several times by myself and other members, there is a big difference between "hatred" and the truth of constructive criticism. If you must know, I "thumbs downed" your post because ChiDude gave it a thumbs up. Are you scolding me for giving your misinformation a thumbs down? Don't forget to thank ChiDude since you're "keeping it real!" It's well known that for years the Montreal strip club scene has been in decline since it's glory days up to 2005. Why do you rejoice it rehashing the same s***t over-and-over again like a toddler. It was to the point there was a petition to take the word "GAY" out of the Gay Village. You could find more twink boys working at the local Culver's fast food restaurant than at Bar Taboo in Montreal. It was sad. If you like trolling threads that's fine EZE. Please keep your politics and "truth as YOU know it" in the POLITICAL section where they belong. I took the bait and forgot rule #1 of DON'T FEED THE TROLL!

I have no particular insight on any of this. Just going with my gut feeling. Anyway, re-opening is in sight now! I’ve been following the rates of vaccination here in Canada very closely and it appears if the imports of Pfizer and Maderna vaccines continue to increase as expected, everyone who wants one and is eligible will have received their first dose by the end of June. That leaves the second doses still to be done and they may begin early July or even a bit earlier. I don’t see bars and restaurants opening here in Ontario before people can show they have their second shots. Don’t know about how Quebec will play it. Interesting that today the feds conceded that the Pfizer and Maderna are superior to either Astra Zeneca or J&J and that if people wanted to wait to get the former when they become available that would be fine. Up to now they have been saying take whatever is offered first. Big climb down. There will be increasing pressure to open the border to those who are fully vaccinated but the imbalance between the numbers in the US and Canada will make this politically difficult for Canada. twinkboylover28, Chidude and EZEtoGRU 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up to now they have been saying take whatever is offered first. Big climb down. There will be increasing pressure to open the border to those who are fully vaccinated but the imbalance between the numbers in the US and Canada will make this politically difficult for Canada. I should clarify that it was the Federal health advisory body on vaccinations that reported yesterday that the mRNA vaccines were superior to the viral based ones (Astra Zeneca and J&J) because of what they termed a "signal safety concern" with the latter. This of course alluded to the rare cases of blood clots, which have caused at least one death of a 54 year old woman in Quebec and a few dozen of blood clots that others have recovered from. Canada has not administered any of the J&J vaccines it has on hand and continues to give the Astra Zeneca doses, including to the Prime Minister and his wife who received theirs a week ago. Needless to say this has caused an uproar in Canada. In reality, the only vaccines arriving currently from abroad, including now from the US, are the mRNA vaccines. India has ceased shipments of the AZ vaccine, which was a major supplier previously because of their own emergency, and the US only supplied one shipment under a loan agreement last month, despite the fact they have not administered any of the stockpile they have of the vaccine to date. While Canada contracted more J&J vaccines, they have not shipped any more and the current unused supply in Canada is under embargo because one of the ingredients in it was from the Baltimore facility that is now closed down, Emergent, because of contamination issues. At this point it appears to me that Pfizer is the standout vaccine for Canada, because Moderna has been plagued by supply and delivery issues from the outset, and Pfizer has overcome their difficulties in February when they were overhauling their manufacturing facilities to meet the unprecedented global demand. I heard on the CBC today that Pfizer has single handedly redeemed the reputation of the pharmaceutical industry which has been under a cloud for several decades. Why that sentiment struck me rather oddly is that the industry did come through in the last major epidemic that killed a lot more people than COVID19 to date, namely HIV/AIDS, with their development of effective drugs to treat the disease. Oh well, people have short memories, I guess. twinkboylover28 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luv2play Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 (edited) Now that we are near the end of May, it still seems it will be quite some time before indoor bars and clubs will reopen. Outdoor terraces may open in a month or so. Quebec has got a better control on the numbers of cases so is reopening sooner but Ontario is taking a more cautious approach. What goes for the reopening of the US border is anyone's guess but not this summer I believe. The latest wrinkle that developed this weekend is the abrupt closure of the main bridge linking Montreal to Ontario. That is the one I take when driving to Montreal. With only the older smaller bridge open on highway 20, traffic will be snarled for the foreseeable future. That is also going to affect Trudeau Airport for passengers from Ontario but in the short term not an issue as noone is flying out of Canada for leisure.

I heard that there was a problem with a damaged bridge heading to Montreal. How long will the repairs take? Weeks? Months? Years? I usually fly to Montreal from Michigan but I occasionally drive. I'll need to take into consideration the damaged bridge next time I'm thinking about driving...when the border reopens.

I marked a little red x on the bridge (Hy 40) that is closed. Alternate highway configurations to other bridges to the island will just take longer due to congestion and/or more circuitous routes. It is premature to determine the future of the closed bridge (that will likely soon open a lane each way). Suffice to say it is making commuters livid. Parenthetically, VIA Rail crosses on the bridge (Hy 20) just a bit south and parallel to 40. South of that again is Hy 30 that eases around to the south shore and is another route typically taken from the west when the 40 bridge is out; its tolls are waived for now due to the disruption.

Luv2play Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 When Imoved out of Montreal in 2010 to Ontario, it was a two hour drive for me to get back. Then they tore up the Turcott interchange in what has become a decades long project of rebuilding the vast interchange of highways and my trip became a three hour one. Now with the #40 bridge closed, I will have to use #30 and that involves a circuitous detour to the south shore ( it was intended to bypass Montreal for people heading east or west) so that will add another half hour I imagine. All in all a great disincentive to visit Montreal when I can now drive the extra distance to Toronto in about a little over a half hour extra.
