A new law in
Canada, the Protection of Children Involved in Prostitution Act, increased
the fines for both pimps and male buyers to $25,000 from $2,000. Pimps
and male buyers are warning their peers of the new law, via the Internet.

The cops, the lawmakers and the morality crusaders have all tried to expunge prostitution from Vancouver. But they have failed to budge the sex trade which has always found Vancouver to be a bountiful home. ![]() Republic Vancouver 958 Granville St. Vancouver, BC Late Night Dining, Outdoor 555 VIBES 555 Davie Street...
