Canada...You just went up a notch in my book!

 

...Don't get excited though; that just puts you at notch 1.

 

Canada Strikes Down Anti-Prostitution Laws

 

So technically, it's been legal the whole time in Canada, but certain activities were banned, kind of like Weed laws in Amsterdam. I think it's time we just go ahead and do likewise here. It's been around since the dawn of man; it ain't goin' away. You might as well make the practice safer for all parties involved.

Have always felt that prostitution should be legal if it is between two consenting adults. 

 

One of the only laws where the underlying act (sex) is legal.....with the only thing making it illegal is the exchange of money.

[pstall]

seems like a loose law to me

[Kevin Greene]

Either way I'd never pay for it.

[NanuqoftheNorth]

Good decision for all involved.

 

Prioritizing the welfare of actual human beings ahead of ideological dogma?

Hmm, what a concept.

Wonder what it would be like to have a sensible Supreme Court in the USA?

Either way I'd never pay for it.

Ignorance is bliss.

Now the question will be, can they head off a tide of human trafficking that might be coming.

I'm in favour of decriminalising sex work, but there will now likely be problems with this.  The other problem associated with the exploitation of sex workers, of course, is pimping.  It's only different from human trafficking in that it's not about transporting humans for the purpose of sexual slavery, but the slavery part remains.

 

I just hope they can find a way to avoid this.  Europe's (particularly in the Netherlands', Belgium's, and Germany's) issues with trafficking are significant, and differentiating between those who work willingly versus by coercion (especially among those from Eastern Europe) is difficult.

Canada has some sexy, gorgeous women. In some places, it's like the port of Miami. There'd be exotic women from all different backgrounds in one area.

Yep, if you know which areas to go to this place can be a gold mine.
