Op-Ed Article – Defending Canada’s Prostitution Laws

The Supreme Court of Canada has struck down Canada’s prostitution laws. In a year’s time, this decision would make the operation of brothels, living on the avails of prostitution, and communicating in public for the purposes of buying and selling sex legal. Prostitution victimizes women and threatens the safety of our communities, which is ready  of growing concern. Our Government will vigorously defend the constitutionality of Canada’s prostitution laws.
The decision is currently being reviewed while all possible options are being explored in order to ensure that our laws continue to address the threat that prostitution poses to communities, sex trade workers, and those vulnerable. Our Government is firmly committed to protecting Canadian communities from the effects of legalized prostitution, including the impact of illegal drugs and the vulnerability of women. These effects will be taken into account while our government works diligently to implement a new legal framework to govern the sex trade. The Supreme Court has stipulated a one-year window for the task.While our Government is focused on defending our communities from this threat, the Liberal party intends to legalize prostitution and marijuana. While we look to defend Canadian families and the safety of our communities, the Liberals seek to ensure that those who profit from the sex trade are able to maintain “successful business,” to be taxed in the tax-hungry Liberal tradition like any other enterprise.

The Prime Minister has made it clear that our Conservative Government knows prostitution is detrimental to society and we view its effects as harmful for our communities and women, and particularly for vulnerable women, and we will continue to oppose prostitution in Canada. The Liberals fail to protect Canadian communities and values, and choose instead to discuss the merits of legitimizing the sex trade, which will make prostitution more widespread in Canadian communities.StarBuzzOnline.com
