Hopeful that online classified advertising giant Craigslist's decision last month to discontinue accepting adult services ads under pressure from several states' attorneys general might be replicated, three Ontario, Canada cabinet ministers sent a letter to Craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster urging Craigslist to stop accepting ads for prostitutes in Ontario, according to a story in The Globe and Mail.


The ministers' September 14 letter praised Craigslist for its decision in the U.S. and said it was "a matter of fairness" that Craigslist stop running the adult services ads in Canadian cities.
