Lead: I think that addressing the current state on sex work as a crime vs. the legality of it is an important thing to note/add, as the section in the article the states Canada's current stance on sex work could use some embellishment. Also adding the different areas in Canada you have written down will be good to note as well.

-Your description for a lead is concise and clear on Canada's sex work laws.

-I think the lead in the current article does briefly and clearly state what a Red Light District is. I don't think much needs to be added in that regard.

-Maybe you could add a little bit more information to the current Lead of the existing article; although it is brief and to the point, I wonder if having some additional information could be valuable in terms of the history as well as the current state of Red Light Districts. Possibly addressing the effects of policing, and targeted groups a bit more?

-Incorporating a link to a Wikipedia article entitled Sex Work in the lead could be beneficial as they only use the term Prostitution and linking to that Wiki article.

Content Added: What you are adding is definitely neutral.

-I wonder if you could embellish a bit on the historical elements of the places you are listing? Such as The Downtown Eastside. I realize that there currently isn't much other information added to the areas noted in the existing article, but maybe it could be more informative to readers who are looking into the various Red Light Districts.

-You have a link for just for Montreal, and then another link for an area within Montreal, I guess those two could be condensed together?

-Content added is concise, well written and easy to read.

-I think that this is a good subject to add to, as I feel it is something that isn't widely represented, and sharing knowledge on what areas legal stances are on sex work is important for individuals to know.

Sources: The Sources and links that I was able to click to were all current and up to date. I couldn't really read them because they were in French, but they were from reliable sources.

-I didn't see any sources that linked to The Downtown Eastside.
