The real increase in demand for SPs will be when international conferences return I think. (When?)
I used to fly from Detroit for weekends of fun. Air Canada had a cheap nonstop from Windsor. Looks like the average price for a girl has gone up to 250 CAD nowadays (So 200 USD). Finding a girl like what I will get in MTL will set me back 500 to 1000 USD here in Detroit.
Looking forward to coming back.

Good point about prices not going down. Does that mean Americans don't deserve the opprobrium for overtipping the girls and inflating wages then?
It's not just sex work inflation, I think, though. Even fast food restaurants are having trouble finding bodies!
I think prices will remain where they are there is enough local business without the US tourists.
As far as tipping, I think Quebecers are accustomed to tipping 15-20% with regard to the service industry just like Americans.
I don’t think guys from the US are any more generous than the locals.

Canadian border guards are threatening to strike. I guess they have enjoyed sitting around and doing little during the pandemic and the closing of the border during the pandemic.

CBSA officers vote to strike, threatening border reopening that is just days away
A strike would slow down commercial traffic at the land border, the unions said, as well as impact international mail and collection of duties and taxes

Phew, that is insane. $2600 can get you a place in NYC or LA or even SF. What's changed in Montreal?
The flights from NYC have also gotten more expensive. I could occasionally get there for around $200, cheapest is around $350 nowadays. Maybe it'll change as the airlines get a better handle on what demand is like.
Prices are probably up now because they assume the only ones who are moving quickly to travel have the greatest willingness to pay

that’s a huge increase from 900$ , but it’s a free market and there is no cap , massive profits ... if it’s too much I suggest you guys book such a place as roommates

“$2600”......Price gouging!
Or, Supply and Demand?
If said Owner has not Rented the 1 Bedroom for 6 Months or longer, then the Owner needs/wants to recoup that lost Rent.
Or, maybe it’s Greed....

This is true, maybe it's a loss aversion strategy from the landlord. Curious to see if the rest of the market has inflated the same way.
Excellent question. Since there is no federal vaccine passport will Canada be ok with using the passport app Excelsior like in NY or some other database. Maybe the fed will have access to your vaccination status the same way Nexus or Global has access to states DMV records.
That sounds like the way to go, but systems that share information across countries will take a while to put in place. Quebec going alone on this doesn't make it simpler.
A federal system is due in December (best case).
Without some type of centralized, cooperative system to verify, it sounds like it will be simple to forge.
If you look at what's happening in France, the passport will become mandatory next week and they announced a procedure for non-EU travellers "in the coming days". Here I'm sure they'll come up with something as the tourism industry in Montreal must be lobbying pretty hard right now!
Interesting comment about forgeries. A friend of mine who is an anti vaccer but calls himself “pro immunity “ said if he’s shut out of restaurants in NYC he will most likely get a fake. Seems far simpler to just get vaccinated but on a Federal level I doubt he would risk a forged doc just to cross the border. But, I wouldn’t put it past people.
You may want to read the article you posted. They were Canadians.It sounds like they already do have some sort of system in place. Two Americans were already caught and fined
Canada fines travellers for fake vaccination and testing papers
The travellers arriving from the US were caught and fined C$19,720 ($16,000, £11,500).www.bbc.com
“The health agency told Newsweek in a statement that they were Canadian citizens.”
They were Canadian or maybe just fictitious. Funny how they come out with this story just before the border opens up. Probably just a scare tactic to make people think twice about entering this country with fake documents. truth is they have no way of knowing what is real and what is fake. Fining someone nearly $20,000 is excessive and I just don't believe it and meanwhile Turdeau has no problem importing the delta virus from the so called banned air travel which has been doing brisk business since the start of the pandemic.
No, staying Home......
