While prostitution (sex work) is not technically illegal in Canada, laws are such that there is little opportunity for sex work to evolve and trive as an above board business, beyond the dispicable control of the underworld, linked to organized crime and drugs.

For sex work to be a true profession (beyond that noted above) in Canada, like in a few world areas, a more progressive approach would be needed by law makers and enforcers. I doubt that it will ever happen.

Most prostitutes will likely continue to operate in on the shady underside of society, will be abused and will profit little.
