If you're publicly intoxicated here, generally the worst thing that happens to you if you get caught is that you'll be cuffed and might have to spend a few hours in a holding cell down at the station. And sometimes you only have to pay a fine.

You obviously don't live in Toronto or Hamilton where the cops crack down on random sh
it all the time.
My interaction with law enforcement isn't terribly extensive... the biggest thing I've ever had to do was report a collision (that wasn't my fault but you have to report all collisions to the police here).
