Weapons in Canada?

Like the title says.

Detroit map has a neat flavor of letting you gain connections on the Canada side of the Detroit / Windsor border.

Sadly, it doesn't seem like you can actually set up territory or encounter AI on the Canada side, only minor hoodlums - I've also been unable to find a fire arm in the Canada side, and noticed there's 0 police presence.

It's a shame there's no heat or gang warfare of some kind on the Canada side of the border even just for the flavor, but have noticed once you get a worker over there you can only explore and find a smuggling connection really. Probably with these weapons like knife and such I could risk trying to kill all the hoodlums at basically no consequence for me since there are no police, but it'll take a while melee only :p

There used to be police but since you only have one guy, he'd get arrested and would then arrive at your headquarters in Detroit.

The devs didn't want you to fight in Canada, but to find connections to get rare (canadian whiskey) alcohol to ship back to the U.S.

Aw, shame, I'd kind of like the spill over violence aspect of how smuggling like that worked in Canada. Hehe I mean we are talking an American - Canada smuggling network here, in real life a crime group like that may have evolved with and after prohibition to include trafficking of all sorts in general so it's not like there isn't a potential for violence. Not even violence really, just the different ways an organization might operate Canada side, laundering and opening bars and other locations where they could still operate alcohol and so on directly while also still acting as a front and so on.

Really though even if we were able to just get more safe houses or more than one guy Canada side would be nice, I think, haha your one dude with only bats and stuff to arm themselves is pretty vulnerable to local hoodlums.

edit: that said, does make sense that the focus was about whiskey instead of turf and crime overall - hehe if I could figure out how to smuggle more conveniently back from windsor would be nice - is the train depot the only option or are there favors for opening up the river?

Everyone detroit side for missions wants the backroom beer I took from a dead hoodlum who died from 2 others brawling it out near my safehouse on the Windsor side :p

About once a quarter you can shift money to Canada, 2 different amounts with $1500 being the high number. You can send whatever goods you can fit in your vehicle for about $750.

My current game does have 1 purchaser of alcohol on the Canadian side, so it is possible to make and sell a very limited variety of alcohol in Canada. That could get you enough money to purchase canadian whiskey regularly and ship it back to Detroit.
