Canada only raised their age of consent from 14 to 16 in 2008. I don't think Canada should be cancelled as a result of this.

Many EU countries still at 14.

Legal age of consent isn't the same as being moral. These are two separate things.

Nobody is saying we should 'cancel' Canada for having bad laws in the past.

IMO this is a really weak argument.

But we should 'cancel' people for having bad views in the past? Got it.

It is amazing how you equate a fairly random and unusual aspect of US law to "being moral".

+1 We shouldn't be cancelling Canada because of random laws, we should be cancelling them because hockey sucks.
