This is terrible legislation, which should surprise no one considering who is implementing it.

I think it’s important to note that this is targeting behaviour which results in many unnecessary deaths on Canada’s roads each year. Something needed to be done to stem that particular behaviour. A traditional criminal impaired driving investigation can take up to 3 hours to complete, an IRP can be done in a third of the time. Also, governments have started to deem impaired driving as an administrative offence, it would appear this is a modernization of inneffective laws/court systems.
At the end of the day it is not a hard decision to not drink and drive. It’s a completely selfish and dangerous decision.
