I know bro i did it so dont say anything if you dont know what your talking about
Well, bro, while this is fascinating info it is also incorrect and illegal information - posted on a legal site.
Here - again - are the ages of majority in Canada: Alberta - 18; British Columbia - 19; Manitoba - 18; New Brunswick - 19; Newfoundland and Labrador - 19; Northwest Territories - 19; Nova Scotia - 19; Nunavut - 19; Ontario - 18; Prince Edward Island - 18; Quebec - 18; Saksatchewan - 18; Yukon Territory - 19
Please post the law as you understand it and apparently lived it - I cannot find anything along the lines you describe.
At ANY age parents can move to emancipate a child and pretty much walk away - is that what happened in your case? Likewise, parents can agree to another person becoming the child's guardian. Maybe that's the situation but there is NO law that guarantees a child the right to move out at 14 and call the Police on his/her parents at 16.
I note that Canadian Q&A sites address this fairly regularly - it appears to be a rumor.
However, if you have the law, please post it.
