[QUOTE=AtomicWaffle;48792369]AFAIK underage drinking in Canada is legal within a private home so long as the homeowners consent/supervise.[/QUOTE] [B]No[/B] [quote=http://www.caperbase.com/Laws/] Use of liquor by minor 89 (1) Liquor shall not be sold, supplied or given to or procured for or by any person under the age of nineteen years, except for medicinal purposes only as provided for by this Act.

R.S., c. 260, s. 89; 1990, c. 33, s. 1. [/quote] Have to say that there is a turning of a blind eye somewhat in order to expose kids to some minor drinking before going to college/university. Whereas kids with no experience, don't know how much they can handle and end up causing themselves harm.
[QUOTE=bull3tmagn3t;48824389][B]No[/B] [/QUOTE] [QUOTE]If you are a parent, guardian, or spouse of a minor you may provide liquor only to your child or minor spouse in the privacy of your home. This exception does not allow you to provide liquor to any other minors who may be in your home.[/QUOTE] [B]Yes.[/B] It depends on the province but in Alberta and BC a parent is allowed to let a minor safely drink in their own private residence. However they have to be the parent/guardian of that minor and they have to be under supervision. It isn't a law that allows an adult to get a bunch of random teenagers wasted in their house.
[QUOTE=Water-Marine;48808873]Cops in my hometown were pretty relaxed about situations like this as well. When Project X came out, a shitload of teens thought it'd be a great idea to recreate similar parties. This led to idiotic event announcements, which alerted the police, who really just ended up standing by the party making sure everyone had a ride home at the end of the night along with a quick lecture.[/QUOTE] Some kids from my high school had the idiotic idea to plan one of those huge wild parties in a public park. The cops shut it down immediately.
