Like Feynman said, prostitution is legal in Canada. Many activities surrounding this work are deemed criminal.
Communication - Any discussion in public about exchanging money for sexual services is illegal. Public palces include hotels, restaurants and cars etc... Montreal police are trying to crack down on the weekly papers and their back of the paper ads regarding this issue as well.
Procuring - Trying to influence someone to become a prostitute is illegal.
Exercising control, direction or influence - Basically your classic pimp (which according to my friends over at Stella -Montreal's female sex workers rights organization- is not very common).
Living off the avails of a prostitute - anyone who receives payment from the prosititutions income, which I have been told could even include your landlord.
Prostitutes under the age of 18 - illegal.
