Like almost everything about Canada, this is very much a regional thing. Cities and provinces have a lot of leeway to deprioritize things like marijuana prohibition. Just because you won't get busted for simple possession in Vancouver or Toronto, doesn't mean you won't get busted in Regina or Winnipeg. There have been over 22k arrests for simple possession since Trudeau assumed office with the promise of legalization. [1] And the government has said it will not issue pardons for anyone convicted from these arrests.
