In these tough economic times, you shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth.

Prostitution is legal?
I thought BC had places similar to what you'd see in amsterdam?
Canadian Facts - Banana - 01-15-2009
Prostitution is criminalized, not illegal. Which means prostitution is legal, but practicing it is not. :S Anyways, I am not sure what you are referring to. It's always been legal here.
Canadian Facts - BIRD33 - 01-15-2009
If its criminalized than how is it not illegal?
If I get arrested for participating in it then its not legal.

http://www.sexwork.com/montreal/law.html <--- That'll help. It's basically the same as pot here, you can have some, but can't sell it and do it publicly. Prostitutes can't advertise sex and men can't solicit. So, street walking and brothels are illegal. The rest is fair game.
