Stupid Harper can't get anything right

So, if I'm following the logic, these so-called "youth advocates" are using here... the Conservatives should actually have LOWERED the age of consent?
The bill is intended to target sexual predators, but many youth advocates say that by focusing on age, the new law will confuse teens, make their sexual activities more clandestine and expose them to other risks, including abuse, early pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections.
Now... call me wacky, but unless teenagers have undergone some weird genetic mutation in the last couple of decades... I suspect that checking government legislation before seeking out and, more to the point, having sex... just isn't on the radar.

UPDATE: Heck... maybe that's what happened here
Two young women solicited online to perform at Toronto bachelor parties became victims of violent sexual assaults and robberies instead, police say.
Nope, false alarm... just another sleazy predator.
Ashraf Bouab, 21, of Toronto — who goes by TheDezertMan, Deezy, Deazy, D and Dave online and attends a downtown Toronto college — faces two counts each of sexual assault with a weapon, forcible confinement, threatening death and robbery and one count of assault.
