Possession has been sort of de-facto decriminalized in Canada for many years - police just don't enforce the law.

This is only true in major metro areas -- that is, Montreal, Vancouver and Toronto. Most smaller cites/towns or rural regions are far less tolerant.
(In fact, differential enforcement by regional police departments was one of the more compelling arguments in favour of decriminalization.)
