In fact, that's not what the law says at all. Effectively, the age of consent is only 14 if your partner is also young. Otherwise it's considered an "exploitative" relationship under the law. So an adult cannot have sex with a person under the age of 18, under Canadian law.

I think it's time to introduce Calgaryborn to a valuable research tool:

Trust me--it's SO much better than just making stuff up.
