Obviously they aren't the only people that kill people, but the reaction in Alberta (and most jurisdictions) seems to be to go after people in the 0.05-0.08 range as opposed to those who are well over the limit. I'm pretty sure there were a few studies cited here previously that showed that the latter group was many times more likely to be in a deadly accident than the former (did a quick search and couldn't find them so I may be mistaken).
Of course the manner in which you go after those groups is completely different, with one you simply write more tickets, make more arrests and collect more fines. With the other you have to actually jail people, and incur costs, so it's not surprising to see the path most places have taken.
