C-22 was not "squashed by the Senate". Putting all the blame on the Senate is like blaming the pitcher who came in to pitch the 9th with his team down 12-2.
I personally am against C-22. Not because it raises the age of consent, but because it keeps that archaic law in place that the age of consent for anal sex is 18. Therefore a 22 and a 16 year old heterosexual relationship is allowed, but not a homosexual one. Yeah, the churches were all up in arms about changing that because they wanted to protect young boys from gay pedophiles. I guess the church knows something about that....
