We are losing more and more of our rights under feel good laws that do absolutely no good
The country has been tending towards a police state for some time. Nowhere are the losses of individual rights accepted by so many people as when these rights are taken away in order to combat drinking and driving. The new amendments to the Criminal Code that came into effect on Dec. 18, are not only draconian but some of the provisions border on the absurd. While some in the media have addressed the fact these amendments infringe upon peoples rights, little has been said about whether or not these changes to the law will be effective.
Under the old law, police who lawfully stopped a motorist could demand breath samples be given into a roadside screening device only if the officer had a reasonable suspicion the driver had alcohol in his or her system. The reasonable suspicion would be formed if the officer could smell alcohol or observe other indicia of impairment. The new law does away with the need of reasonable suspicion. Any driver who is lawfully stopped by a police officer can be required to provide breath samples even if there is no evidence the person had been drinking.
The police in Canada do not write the laws they are expected to enforce. Your beef is with the legislature, not the cops.
No, because there’s a problem with the thinking that if laws made don’t work, then what we need is more laws for people to ignore.
Canada is now a Police State yet they keep going further left.
At some point America will be in a war with the communistas in Canada.

It’s a short column but in case you don’t have time to read it all, here’s the last paragraph....
So why did we let this illegal migrant, who is now on trial for an ISIS-inspired terrorist attack, into our country?
Holland stated, in no uncertain terms, your admissibility to another country does not affect your ability to enter Canada or make an asylum claim.
There you have it. A Canadian politician has stated its policy to ignore the immigration status of would-be migrants coming from our neighbour and closest ally.
Weve quietly become a sanctuary country.
As the U.S. cracks down on dangerous criminals who entered their country illegally, Canada has once again become a potential safe haven for illegal migrants, foreign criminals and even terrorists.
Where there's a will....
If they bring in more revenue, they will be deemed “effective”....
