Actually, Canada claims to be a secular, multicultural society.

It already exists; how are you dealing with its existance now? If it was legalized and well-regulated, at least some of the more negative aspects of it (like you said, pimps/bikers/gangs/etc.) would be removed from the equation, and by making condoms and STD testing mandatory it would also reduce the spread of HIV and other diseases amongst prostitutes and their clientele.
As for your linked story, that's clearly a case of two well-intended laws (legalizing prostitution and forcing welfare recipients to accept a job offer or lose their benefits) having unintended results when mixed together. I'm not sure how the case turned out, but surely there's a follow-up story somewhere that says the government showed some common sense and didn't force her into prostitution.
