Supreme Court strikes down Canada's prostitution laws

[Drakken]

New bill presented in the House to amend the Prostitution Law under the provisions of the Supreme Court's decision... and we'll import the Nordic system. In other words, soon in Canada buying sex services will be a criminal offence, whether the sex worker is pimped or not, brotheled or not, willingly selling of her own free will or not.

Hate to say I had told you so, but... I had told you so. 

[The Brain]

Canada FIAL.

Hmm... I don't know if it's fair to call it the "Nordic system" when prostitution is perfectly legal in Denmark. It really is the Swedish and Norwegian system.

I read the thread title and according to the street signs, I've somehow teleported to Vancouver.  Jacob, can I crash?

Nordic means Sweden.  The other supposed Nordic countries are just satellites to its shining sun.  Or so EU2 taught me.

I'll help you out, sure. Right now it'll be a bit crowded though, since we've got both my in-laws and my sister staying with us... and, of course, the 7 month old baby, not to mention that psychologically damaged dog.

[Ideologue]

That was an incredibly detailed response to someone who just told you he teleported.

I play as Denmark and swallow them whole after they get all the events that boost every province's base tax to 20 and make manufactories appear out of thin air.  Then I eat the HRE with my German culture.  Then I put serfdom to 0 and legalize sex work.

Not at all Drakken.  Both the Prostitute and the Customer are being criminalized under this Bill.  In fact the criminal sanctions on prostitutes have been increased.

You teleport onto my properties and I'll shoot you.

[Ideologue]

Why the fuck would I teleport to Ohio?  I already live in a shitty red state, but at least the weather is nice.

[Jaron]

Legalize it and I'll advertise it.

It's catching on.  The last time I served on the grand jury, I was surprised to find that's the way New Jersey prefers to handle it.  There are still laws on the books about solicitation, but the prosecutors pretty much refuse to file charges.  As it was explained to us, it's going that way because of concerns about the overlap between prostitution and victims of human trafficking.

That's a shame. The Nordic model's the one to go for

[Josephus]

I don't mind Nordic models at all.
