Canada Age Gate

Trigger: First visit to any phant.ca/canada page in the last 30 days.

Approach: Province-aware gate. Visitors confirm their province first, then the gate asks the correct age question for that province. This matches how cannabis sites are expected to verify age in Canada — a single national age question is technically incorrect for at least three provinces (BC, AB, QC) and is weaker compliance than the province-aware pattern.
