I agree the legal age should be lowerd to 18.
While in most provinces and territories the legal drinking age is 19, Alberta and Quebec have set the legal drinking age to 18. (also, note that it is illegal to buy cigarettes here under the age of 19...and Ontario was the only province with a 5th year of highschool, yet many students cames from outside the province meaning many students were still underage.)
The way I see it is your either considered and adult or your not. You're not not partially an adult at 18, then another part at 19, and the finally at 21. There should be one age for everything. I would like to see it at 18, even though this doesn't apply to me anymore...I am legal everywhere. If not, then pick an age and stick to it. Meaning, you can't drink, buy cigarettes, vote, join the military, rent porn, enter into contract, etc, etc, until age X.
