Good remarks, curly. There is no perfect sealing. Cities do indeed have priorities, cops have different cultural environments and provincial prosecutors are influenced by the social context. However, what I said about Montréal regarding incall busts is the same in every province. There are no arrests done without those factors: minors, pimping with coercion, public solicitation, dope or organized crime. There are of course exceptions, but they confirm the general rule. This is observed not only in Canada but also everywhere in the world, including USA, as many of our american friends like Patron can confirm, and Sweden. Of course, there used to be a lot of corruption here and corruption continues in many parts of the world, making police forces the main contributors of violence towards sex workers.
Suppose Valérie Plante who, I presume, is radically against sex work, speaks to the police chief and tells him Montréal has a new priority, getting rid of it. The police chief will inform her about the general situation, the level of criminality involved and the priority plan they already have. Yes, but I would like you to bust every single incall, including mp you can find. Well, would he respond, I can't do that. First, it would have negative consequences that neither of us would like, including for the people you want to protect. Second, the prosecutors will not take the case. Third, the justice response would be unpredictable. He would tell her that if she wants to do something on her own, she could adopt permit restrictions. Fiction. No. That is exactly what happened when Coderre tried it.
