Canada's highest court has struck down the country's prostitution laws in their entirety in a unanimous 9-0 ruling.
The high court on Friday struck down all three prostitution-related laws: against keeping a brothel, living on the avails of prostitution, and street soliciting.
The ruling is a victory for sex workers seeking safer working conditions because it found that the laws violated the charter guarantee to life, liberty and security of the person.
But the Supreme Court of Canada decision also gives Parliament a one-year reprieve to respond with new legislation.

Interesting. I wonder what the new legislation will look like.
When prohibition causes more problems that it solves, prohibition itself is the problem.

1. Good show. Now tax the brothels.

If only the government would tax vice instead of prohibiting it, the revenue increases would be enormous.
