You cited Canadian laws with a 5 year window, which is absurd IMO.
The fact that you (and millions of other people) refer to sex as 'hooking up' these days is a big part of the problem, especially when talking about minors. Sex is a grown up activity with grown up consequences.
If, at 17, I thought my girlfriends parents would have me charged with a crime I would keep it in my pants. I realize there are a lot of guys your age who simply can't do that.

Sex is a social construct which society has built, what you think it is and what I think it is are two very different things, and whether we disagree on it and neither are wrong.
Sex is an act which has consequences which are drilled into children's heads since they are able understand simple math. People aren't magically going to realize the consequences and the protection sex has and needs when they turn 18, they already know it and it should not be something to be punished.
Children are children and should be protected with the utmost scrutiny but when you start hitting 16 and up, people are educated enough to know the responsibilities and consequences and in most of these cases, it's a victimless crime which derails a lot of kids futures.
