We have the Royal Canadian Mounted Police which is the same thing. A federal level police force tasked and empowered with investigating these types of crimes. We also have provincial level human rights courts
And we do have labor watchdogs, again, the courts, and in Canada they lean very heavily towards workers in interpreting very strict labor laws.
However, Canada is also filled with self-righteous descendants (I mean it culturally) of puritans who take it upon themselves to adjudicate others.
That's why I left the GTA, Ontario and Canada as soon as I could.
(Quebec excepted. They're cool. Also, not Canada)
- f430 6y agoLook the RCMP isn't going to raid a startup because they find human rights violation going on Sure we got watchdogs but those are meant for blue collar workers with union. > However, Canada is also filled with self-righteous descendants (I mean it culturally) of puritans who take it upon themselves to adjudicate others. I 100% AGREE. When I dated an 18yo everybody flipped and said I was the worst. > (Quebec excepted. They're cool. Also, not Canada) I love Montreal man. It is the Thailand of Canada. When I went there I felt free for the first time in my 30+ years in Canada. Where are you now? I am thinking of moving to Thailand or Japan where people aren't so uppity about dating young women (or men, I respect all orientation)
- true_religion 6y agoI have to say... that having this conversation flip to you talking about your love for the youngest legally permissible women is very disconcerting.
- f430 6y agowhat the hell is wrong with dating an 18 yo? I can't believe this puritanical bullshit in North America. In Japan you can legally date Jyoshi Kousei schoolgirls and nobody gives a damn. I'm not saying I'm into that, I SPECIFICALLY mentioned they were 18 and now everybody thinks I'm Jeffrey Epstein for christs sake I'm sick of puritans in this country judging people like me because they are jealous. They know their wives are old and unattractive and they freak out because they see 30 something old with an 18 yo. It's legal for them to be filmed on camera doing all sorts of depraved stuff and sold online but OH NO-WE CANT LET A THIRTY YEAR OLD dudes dating 18 yo. I can't wait to leave this god damn country.
- thedailymail 6y agoLike lots of others, you lost me at the dating teenagers twist. As a 25-year resident of Japan, I can assure you that it is not true "nobody gives a damn" about older men dating high school girls. Like in other countries it is widely viewed as grotesque and despicable.
- zaq1 6y agoIf you think 30, which is not even middle-aged, is unattractive... I think your general interest is skewed towards the very young. I just don't know why you'd incriminate yourself like this.
- saagarjha 6y agoJust because it is legal does not mean it is not strange. Usually people frown upon such a large age gap not because it would be illegal to be in that relationship but because the difference in age, maturity, and life experience would make such pairings unconventional and often exploitative.

- true_religion 6y agoAh my mistake.
- lovich 6y agoIs this a bit? You started off with admitting to crime and then start bringing up how you’re dating women young enough to make everyone upset with you, completely unrelated to the original post or your own criminal admission
- f430 6y agoLook man different countries have different age of consent. I'm not about to incriminate myself here. For you people who think the RCMP is going to bust down my condo door you are mistaken. I didn't mention where I worked.
- ardy42 6y ago> For you people who think the RCMP is going to bust down my condo door you are mistaken. I didn't mention where I worked. Is your profile about fake? 'cause if it's not I wouldn't be so cocky.

- dang 6y agoYou've posted way, way too many unsubstantive and flamebait comments to HN, including in this thread. The swerve here to a completely off-topic flamewar amounts to trolling. Please stop now. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- f430 6y agoYou are right this got out of hand really quick I didn't expect people to react like this. I apologize and will follow the rules. Thanks.
