Minors allowed to have porn?

I found on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/list_of_por... an article about pornography laws in different parts of the world. Read Canada's, it says that minors (People under 18) are not allowed to purchase it, but can own it. My question is, where would they get it from, or am I mis-interpitting this statement?
Answer:
In Canada the legal age of consent is 14 so I am not surprised.

Anyway, Canada has all kinds of laws like this. For example, it is illegal to buy cigarettes in Canada if you are under 18, however it is not illegal for you to smoke.

Funny that this is in the category of law and ethics. Canada is big on law but very short on ethics.
It could be given to them. They just can't buy it over the counter.
It's all over the internet for free, why would someone be stupid enough to bother buying it.
They are not allowed to purchase it, but it is not illegal to be in possesion of it. So if these kids are breaking into Dad's stash or dumpster-diving out behind the local XXX store, that's ok. The regulation against a sale of pornography to minors is the government in Canada's attempt to keep obscene materials out of the hands of their youth.
