    The consensus now is that all other provinces will no longer also be able to use those laws to charge anyone. Precedent has been set. So unless the government tables a new law that takes into account the changes that are deemed unconstitutional within the next 12 months, the old law will be taken off the books.

    It is long over due that sex trade workers are protected and not treated as criminals.

    Duck is probably right. At least it seems to show some thinking in the right direction. Maybe by the time I'm 150 years old or so I'll be able to rent a prostitute here in Boston!
