A judge in Ontario has overturned key Canadian anti-prostitution laws, finding they force sex workers into the streets at risk to their safety.
She ruled with three prostitutes who had challenged bans on brothels, pimps and solicitation.

Imagine trying that in the Untied States of Blueballsia.

The law, such as it is, is already really weak: prostitution is kind of not-illegal rather than legal, so the judge is taking a smaller leap than it would be down south.
Supporters of the overturned laws fear the ruling will make Canada a haven for human traffickers.
That's right, because the first thing traffickers would do is take them to register with the health department.
Traffickers are scrupulous about paying sales taxes.
Lucrative and low-capital-investment forms of work naturally invite crime and human trafficking, and should therefore be banned.
This seems to threaten the very basis upon which the Olde Entomologist is predicated.
You're putting a certain sort of tradition at risk here. Consider your words carefully, my educated albeit smutty friend...
There is an upside to banning Bobby McFerrin.
What, worrying and being sad?
I worry and I am sad that Bobby McFerrin doesn't have tons of big rocks piled on top of him.

I don't know but I been told...
