Has anyone here ever been arrested for trying to or purchasing sex?

This is pre c-36, but that doesn’t really matter since c-36 is not enforced. It does a pretty good job of describing what is illegal. It seems that Saskatchewan gets the most attention in Canada with respect to prostitution.
You can contrast the data from the U.S. for a similar period. When you divide by the total adult population, you get a very small number in percentage terms, but Canada has an additional (and important) zero in the result before you get to a “non-zero” number.

As I have said many times, the U.S. prostitution arrests are for all practical purposes limited to the low-end of the scene (often when other crimes are present) and in areas hostile to sex work.
It appears the same is largely true of Canada.
while in Canada hobbying is relatively safe, I don't see how you can say the same about the US. They run actual sting operations, even in Vegas.This is pre c-36, but that doesn’t really matter since c-36 is not enforced. It does a pretty good job of describing what is illegal.

See https://www.8newsnow.com/news/local...trafficking-operation-during-grand-prix-week/ (seven arrests for luring a child/soliciting a minor but 31 simply for soliciting sex).
Your link also shows a very significant number of arrests. US can go fuck itself with their religious nuts and politicians, I am not hobbying there.
I have been charged.
But I get charged different amounts by different girls.

Realistically in the GTA, arrests will only happen when underage girls are involved. At one time, undercover cops posed as streetwalkers, but that market isn't prominent enough to warrant the deployment anymore.
I actually saw three streetwalkers working around 8 AM last week, not far from where I live.

I remember they used to arrest John's who bought street-level prostitutions. I haven't heard of any escorts like those reviewed here getting in trouble....with the exception of those who might have sought underage or trafficked women.

Yeah, Hooker Harvey's is a few blocks west of where I live, but I don't think there was EVER any street action there around 8 AM, and the working girls I saw were wearing 'donation clothes'.
Got caught in Winnipeg several years ago. It was a sting, cops took out an ad offering the services of a 30 year old, got to the location was met by a 30 year old woman who asked me what I wanted. When I said full service, uniforms came in from adjoining room and that was that. Avoided a record with John school
Almost, in the early 90's , booked a session, get to location , knock on door, no answer , knocked several times more, after a few minutes I left. I call them no answer, next day I heard that the agency got busted.
Interestingly I looked this up earlier this week about celebrities who got caught in the act. I forgot Hugh grant got jail time !
As much as we may like to think so I don’t see how the sex trade market is in the millions of men. Maybe not even hundreds of thousands.
