It is legal to sell sex, but illegal to buy sex.
Wtf?
I must've got this wrong~any clarification?

Lancecastor is the General Board expert in Canadian brokered sex transactions (usually as a buyer, sometimes as a seller). He should be sober about 9 pm central time. I suspect he'll give us the low down.

They're targeting the buyer rather than seller to try and reduce and I guess eventually be rid of prodtitution altogether. Interesting tactic.

If Canada stopped all prostitution its economy would come to a grinding halt.

Canada has a huge prostitution problem? None of my canadian friends ever mention this, they just like to brag about how liberal they are and how no other country hates them. I want to bring this up during one of my 'blame canada because south park said we can' conversations (always friendly and with a smile)

I just studied it. "ottawa unveils new prostitution law"
A john caught buying would be looking at up to 5yrs, and 4g fine.
Dbl if it's a minor.
Provs can sell, but not in any public place, and they can't advertise.
So, a prov can sell from her home legally, but how's she gonna get anyone there?
They're after pimps too, so anyone profiting off a prov, gets hit hard.
Oh! The poor taxi guy who gives her a ride.
And vice is gonna have it easy being selling is legal.
Yep, it'll kill prostitution, and prostitutes are openly pissed.

I think it will need a legal challenge on the basis of discrimination.
canada.gov stats show 90% of prostitution is purchased by men.
Therefore this legislation abandons the unconstitutional law for women to sell, and embraces another unconstitutional law to target men who buy.

Fucking ridiculous IMO, just leave people alone godamn government.
