I could have been detained and required to provide breath samples for doing nothing more than purchasing a bottle of alcohol from a government store while perfectly sober
As I wrote in an earlier article, new laws concerning drinking and driving came into effect in Canada on Dec. 18. As well as increased penalties, cops no longer have to have a “reasonable suspicion” that a driver has been drinking before demanding that driver provide suitable breath samples. As well, a police officer can demand someone provide breath samples if that person has driven anytime within the previous two hours. If the demand is made to a person drinking at home or in a bar and that person blows over the legal limit, he or she can be charged. It is up to them to prove that they were not impaired when they last drove.
The liquor store in Dog River sells insurance too!
Canada is a democracy where the majority rules.
Unfortunately, we also do not have anywhere near the ‘freedom of the press’ that the US has. The only relatively ‘free’ press that we have is ‘The Rebel Media’, who are being ‘lawfared’ to death by Comrade Premier Rachel Notley of Alberta (Premier of Alberta at least until no later than May 31, 2019). The teenage 47 year old ‘Dear Leader’ of Kanaduh has also launched numerous attacks on ‘The Rebel Media’, though no ‘lawfare’, as of yet, at least as far as I know of. Turd-owe has however, pledged $600 million CDN to the Canadian MSM, which of course, excludes The Rebel Media. Of course the Canadian MSM coverage will be less than critical of the Lieberals, especially with an election mandated on, or before October 21, 2019!
Like the US, and most countries, the ‘average Joe’ in Kanaduh, often does not realize how much the MSM manipulates the ‘news’, and takes it at face value. The major difference is that the US was founded upon a HUGE distrust in ‘the government’, a spirit of rebelliousness. As such, Americans are much less likely to just accept the status quo, to just acquiesce to everything the government dictates.
Kanucks in general, just accept that their government has their best interests at heart. While this may have been justifiable at the time of Confederation, today we have few ‘leaders’ in politics or the media who have a faith in the God of the Bible, to guide their actions. As with the ancient Israelites and King Saul, we have the ‘leadership’ we have asked for. More’s the pity!
It’s just like a kid with a new toy. Police will get tired of unjustified breath sampling.

Are Canadian cops like ours and get off on stuff like this?
