personally i have a moral problem with the activity, and the fact that our current society descends in most ways from the british tradition and claims to be christian i see as irreconcilable with decriminalization/legalization of trading money for flesh.
that being said if our society changes enough from that tradition then i guess public outcry tends to focus leaders onto which problems/issues should be dealt with.
if a large majority canadians can deal with legalized/regulated prostitution then i guess it may become a reality. i won't like it but i could probably deal with its existence, for one it will no question help the the people stuck in the life and it will probably cut out pimps/bikers to a large degree. there are some positives, no question.
i came across this story some time ago, i really hope that the ridiculous nature of this situation got cleared up for the best:

if nothing else it examines a potential pitfall of government regulation and what that means to the choices people have.
it is the extreme but it's something i didn't see discussed above.
