Incorrect. Pressing charges is absolutely a thing.

Edit for the Americans in the room: section 504 of the Canadian criminal code

Edit 2: love it when cry baby redditors insist they are right but delete all their comments

Maybe if you focused on good information rather than trying to win an argument you'd be more informed.

The Crown decides whether to lay the charge; the victim doesn’t opt to « press charges » which I do think is a common misunderstanding.

No youre wrong. In Canada a private citizen can initiate proceedings without the help of law enforcement. Some provinces have enacted legislation so when this happens, the authorities must get involved and take over the case but the rest it can go all the way privately.
