I haven't been able to find the article I posted here in the Mudcat a few years ago that mentioned the biker gangs in Canada, but here's some information on trafficing in women that is and has been happening in Canada...

This is how Vancouver has dealt with the some of the child victims:

"Hundreds of children under 17 years old are being exploited in the sex industry in Vancouver, Canada. Middle-aged male buyers are increasingly seeking girls as young as 11. The police are not trusted by the children, who have targeted them for arrests rather than the perpetrators. (Child advocates, Mark Clayton, "To Curb Vancouver�s Big Trade in Child Sex, Police Nab �Johns�," Christian Science Monitor, 1997)

Children in prostitution are charged 59 times more often than are the male buyers in Vancouver. In six years, only 6 men were charged in Vancouver for buying children in prostitution. Two were convicted. During the same time period, 354 children were charged for involvement in prostitution. (Vancouver: Predator and Pedophile Paradise, a study by John Turvey, executive director of Downtown Eastside Youth Activities Society, Mark Clayton, "To Curb Vancouver�s Big Trade in Child Sex, Police Nab �Johns�," Christian Science Monitor, 1997)"
