The amount of misinformation in this thread is baffling and concerning if anyone is reading this thread for any sort of legal advice.

Yeah, I was once told by an RCMP officer that if I was drinking and pulled over, that you are better off just refusing the breathalyzer if you think you might end up in court. He said it was better to look like a jackass for refusing than to have a breathalyzer reading that is over the limit. That would suggest that they have some value in court.
As for this law change, if you vote for Conservatives enough times, don't be surprised if more conservative applications of the law follow. It wouldn't be the first time that the "tough on crime" approach amounted to loss of freedom in the general population.
