I don’t know what percentage of Montreal customers are from the northeastern US, but my guess is that it is considerable, with many from the NYC/NNJ area. In this area (NYC/NNJ) prices have either remained flat or dropped, and many agencies are seemingly quite negotiable on prices within reason. One popular agency owner told a couple of her girls (one whom I text with) the trend is downward for sure and the owner anticipate an influx of supply (strippers to escorts).
That said, why would any NYC area guy make the trip north if rates increase substantially and service is non-GFE, let alone with a mask? You’d have to have a screw loose to cross the border to hobby if that’s the case. . Montreal agencies are doomed if rates increase substantially and service becomes silly (mask, limited rosters, non-GFE). Sorry, I don’t see much changing in Montreal.
Further, any entrepreneurial mind would launch a new agency and get things back to normal in a heartbeat. I think some of us are overthinking this. I’m not anticipating any real changes up there. Just my 2 cents fwiw.
