Where there's a 'massage parlor' there's a population supportive of a sex industry. Where there's a sex industry, there are [now] low-cost or free [to employer] workers, as in most other industries. In Canada, most of these girls come from Asia--specifically Laos, Cambodia, Thailand. Easier access, like the Eastern European sex slave workers in the EU. Canada doesn't have a market? Need a "large" market? A large sex-slave ring was busted in Pasadena, CA, a while back. Pasadena is a suburb of LA, a small town. Women abducted for sex use are used [up] in the massive porn industry, too.
