When you live in Canada, or in Montreal specifically, the hobby is something you will indulge in every now and then, and each time probably a few hours at a time. I can't speak for everyone who flies in across the border, but I used to go 3 times a year and now maybe only 1-2 times a year. It becomes a vacation where you try to spend as much time as you can on 'fun'. This creates a few difficulties I won't get into or disclose, but among them is the spectacle of having different women go to your room or being seen with them on the way to or back from dinner every day, and mostly different women each time. So while I may not book any more than average Montreal hobbyist on an annual basis, my bookings are all condensed in a very short period of time, and highly visible. Normally I don't care, but after the law passed it weighs on me.
Sure I can change to a hotel that is more SP friendly and not book longer dinner dates/overnighters. Or I can indulge elsewhere where I don't have to worry about any of that, which is what I am doing now.
