Canada raises hetero age of consent from 14 to 16, homosexual age of consent still 18
Setting them to the same age would make sense, because regardless of what age you set it, you'll have some proportion of the population not ready for it, anyway, be it 16, 18, 24, or 150.

It's the same with drinking.
As long as the general legal/financial age of independence is 18, than the age of consent should also be 18. This matters more for heterosexuals than homosexuals though.

Then they got it right at 16.

Actually, with the close in age exemption I think that 18 or even 20 would be a good idea.

18 is silly IMO - as is having different ages of consent for different orientations.
Why criminalise something that you will not be able to stop? People under 18 will still have sex, they will also drink, do drugs, and think their parents are stupid control freaks.
It is part of being a teenager - always has been - always will be - why we think making a law will change this is beyond me.
I don't know why he saved my life. Maybe in those last moments he loved life more than he ever had before. Not just his life - anybody's life, my life. All he'd wanted were the same answers the rest of us want. Where did I come from? Where am I going? How long have I got? All I could do was sit there and watch him die.
Then 16 year olds need to be financially and legally independent. Parents should not have to pay for their children's mistakes when the children can make their own choices to do the mistakes.

No they don't.
Obviously I would expect them to pay for their own booze (or other stimulants) if they were into that - but legally independant?
Why - I fail to see the connection.

Again - no. Parents should not be held responsible for the actions of a child over the age of 16. The child should be. A child (or young adult in this case) can actually be held responsible legally for their own actions while still living within their parents house etc.
Trust me - it happens in many countries around the world - and works just fine.

Who pays for the kids that a 16 yearold has? I will tell you that it often isn't the 16 yearold. Who pays for the illnesses?
Young adults aren't held responsible for their choices, especially financially. They don't have to feed themselves, and take care of themselves.
Additionally, there is a reason why they can't enter into contracts/etc. That is because society has mostly decided that they aren't in the position to. If they can't handle the serious issues facing them with contracts, what makes you think that they can face the possibly serious issues facing them with sexual choices or drug choices? Why should they be legally dependent at 16 but sexually independent?
