Significants of Age
Well I just turned 21 today and I am trying to think whats so significant about that number. 16 most Canadians get there license to drive a vehicle. Its legal to purchase cigarettes and pron at the age of 18 in most provinces. 19 is when most provinces allow you to consume alcohol legally. 20 nothing. 21 not sure there is anything. 21 in Europe allows you get your sportscar license. (Ferrari etc.)

What are the perks for your country on age?

Pretty basic here:

16 - License
18 - Cigarrettes, pr0n, hunting rifles, voting
21 - Beer, liquor, handguns
25 - Lower car insurance rates Smile
