Toronto is not enforcing they came out when C36 first became law that basically they would not enforce against consenting adults. Likewise Montreal and Vancouver.
I believe the count is now 2 wins and 1 loss in Superior Courts, but the wins were very strong that C36 violates the safety of persons provision of the Charter, just like when incalls and agencies won under the old law - outcall was legal just not bawdy houses or living off the avils. The original Superior Court Ontario female judge had one of the longest opinions in Canada at the time, making it clear being illegal made it more risky and totally rejected the friends of Court briefs from conservatives and US religious folks that it was an abuse of women.
A few years ago police stopped an escort coming to my hotel appt. This was Peel region, and their only question for the escort was if she was doing this voluntarily. No problem. We have no idea how they knew she was an escort when they pulled her over in my hotel parking lot.
