Thank you for your insight. My worry is more to do with fear of not being able to make my 40% pass mark for this year. There's simply so much to know and learn, from the analogue (which I find the hardest) to the programming (which I f

Canada is not a free society. There are various restrictions on pornography, just like the US for example. They have no problem with censorship. Edit: to be clear, I am referring to written or drawn pornography depicting fictional minors
