Canada's Supreme Court struck down sections of the country's prostitution laws on Friday.

The move is seen as a significant victory for sex workers seeking safer working conditions. Political pundits took to Twitter to react to the milestone ruling.

Writer Jeet Heer reminded us that Canada's sex workers have been extremely vulnerable and the victim of horrific violence for many years

Parliament will have a year to rewrite laws, an interesting prospect for a Harper government that has cast itself as being tough-on-crime.
