Age of Consent
As promised here is a template letter for the age of consent.
Still waiting on more letters from others.

To whom it may concern,
I am writing to express my utter disgust at the current age of consent for sexual relations in Canada. Currently the age for this kind of activity is set at 14 and I believe that is an age too young to be legally having sexual relations. Canada has the youngest age of consent for advancing first world countries and it is an injustice.
The age of consent is bringing sexual predators to Canada to take advantage of our youth, sexually. With the fact that prostitution is legal in Canada, another injustice, it makes it all the easier for a man to pick up a girl of 14 years on the street and do what he wishes to her.
The United Nations just released a report that said that 600 to 800 females are brought into Canada, illegally, each year, as sex slaves. This in itself is an injustice, yet my next thought is: how many of these girls should still be holding onto their innocence?
Statistically the average male or female is losing their virginity at the age of 16 or 17, so why can we not raise the age of consent to 16? It would make younger girls safer and provide them a legal safeguard if they were to find themselves in a sexual situation with an older man.
Also stats show that the average age of going into prostitution is 14 years old – can that be correlated to the age of consent in Canada? I think so. Just think, if the age of consent in Canada were raised to 16 the average age of going into prostitution would eventually raise over time as well.
I ask you as a Member of Parliament or higher, not as a politician, but as a friend, as a parent, as an aunt or uncle, as a brother or sister, think of your own family. Would you want the 14 year olds in your own family being sexually active?
I beg you, an age of consent for sexual relations of 14 is way too young – no one I know at the age of 14 has ever been ready to put themselves into sexual relationships, and those that do have a hard time completing school successfully with the emotional burden it puts on them.
Please, do what is best for our country and our families.
Take care and most of all take justice.
Sincerely,
Still waiting on more letters from others.
