lightcastleSadly (but not unexpectedly), the Ontario Court of Appeal has ruled that Canada's prostitution laws will stay in place for at least several more months, extending the stay on repealing the laws until April 29, 2011.
It's pretty much what most people expected, and it puts lots of people in a sort of limbo for now. I'm still hoping the lower court ruling gets upheld, but then I am often accused of being pollyannaish.
I don't think I'm friends with any sex workers anymore, so I don't have a personal dog in this fight, but I do think the rhetoric that this is going to immanentize the eschaton and produce "Sex City" is ridiculous.
