I’m sure you’re right to an extent, but I think you’d find that your mileage may vary. The last numbers I could find were from 2014, when the rate was 79 charges per 100,000 Canadians. Even if the rate has dropped significantly since then (which I suspect is not the case, since I think the attitude you’re talking about already existed in certain jurisdictions in 2014, and since it’s the opposite of what police departments are saying publicly, at least), we’re still talking about thousands of charges between now and next Spring.
