Trudeau can maybe finally get creative - Repeal C-36 & just drag his feet on decriminalisation, essentially going back to pre C-36 times.
The media is always going to hype up the messiness of decriminalization because sex sells. Trudeau should just bait the Conservatives and paint them as a bunch of impotent old men who hate sex & women.
The fact is that decriminalization works well & most countries practice some form of decriminalization w.r.t prostitution even if their respective laws explicitly bans prostitution. The biggest ironies, of course being the Phillipines & Thailand where prostitution is technically illegal but the police treating it as decriminalized.
As many prostitutes will point out, they’re doing a public service - Without prostitutes, there are going to be an overwhelming number of super horny men with no outlet, who knows what they’ll do to satisfy their primal urges. Even the pigs won’t be safe.
