A Rochester Hills man, Leon Walker, faces felony charges for accessing his wife's email without permission, a situation that has sparked debate about privacy rights within marriage. While some argue that reading a spouse's email is a violation of trust, they believe it should be treated as a moral issue rather than a criminal one. Legal experts note this is the first use of a Michigan statute typically applied to identity theft in a domestic context, raising questions about its applicability and the burden of proof. The discussion highlights differing views on privacy in marriage, with some asserting that marriage does not equate to forfeiting individual privacy rights. Critics argue that accessing a spouse's email without permission should be considered illegal, regardless of marital status, while others contend that trust and communication should govern such matters instead of legal repercussions. The case raises broader questions about privacy expectations in relationships and the legal implications of accessing personal communications.

I didn't just guess. It is freely Googleable: "age of majority Ontario" or "Ontario minor age"

Heh. It's no the news right now.
"felony misuse of the computer" is the offical charge.
In Canada, wiretapping and hacking statutes could both apply to a case such as this.

Are you sure that the age of majority applies to the leaving home issue.? I did a quick search myself and also saw 16 and 18. :-$.
If I am wrong then I am sorry.
Edit
Btw I searched for "legal age to move out in ontario". Almost all results said 16.

Look up "emancipation". You can apply for emancipation at 16.╔(σ_σ)╝ said:
Unless you get emancipated, you are still a minor, and your parents can haul you by your ear back home.

I am pretty sure that minors of age 16 and up can apply for emancipation. Of course, once 18, they are legally adults.╔(σ_σ)╝ said:
I am having difficulty locating any references to emancipation in Ontario. There's sure a lot of questinos and guessing going on out there, but I wouldn't trust antyig but government or legal corporate sites.

It's also off topic to the thread. A good time to end this.
