Legalize or Not?
If you follow the news at all you were probably aware that the Supreme Court of Canada struck down three anti-prostitution laws that prohibited the operation of brothels, living on the avails of prostitution and communicating in public with clients. The top court ruled the laws were over-broad and “grossly disproportionate.” The government was given an ultimatum by the court to review the laws and form new ones that don’t put sex workers in danger and if not, prostitution will be legal. To legalize or not is the overarching question. What are the pros and cons of either option? What is prostitution? What is the context that both the government and the Supreme Court is operating in that we should be knowledgeable of since they are now soliciting advice from Canadian citizens? Join us as we explore these questions and more with hosts Jonathan Chan and Pat O’Brien with special guest, Maureen McGrath of CKNW’s Sex Show. Registration is $5 online or $10 at door. Cash bar is available to purchase beverages. Hope to see you there!
