Just wondering how this affects everything...
CANADA'S LEGAL AGE OF CONSENT
TO SEXUAL ACTIVITY
Prepared by:
Marilyn Pilon
Law and Government Division
25 January 1999
Revised 12 April 2001
The Criminal Code does not now criminalize consensual sexual activity with or between persons 14 or over, unless it takes place in a relationship of trust or dependency, in which case sexual activity with persons over 14 but under 18 can constitute an offence, notwithstanding their consent. Even consensual activity with those under 14 but over 12 may not be an offence if the accused is under 16 and less than two years older than the complainant. The exception, of course, is anal intercourse, to which unmarried persons under 18 cannot legally consent, although both the Ontario Court of Appeal(3) and the Quebec Court of Appeal(4) have struck down the relevant section of the Criminal Code.

And this off of the Department of Justice website..
What is Canada’s age of consent?
The age of consent is 18 years where the sexual activity involves exploitative activity, such as prostitution, pornography or where there is a relationship of trust, authority or dependency.
For other sexual activity, the age of consent is 14 years.
The last sentence in combination with the first part seems ridiculous.
