How come so many waivers are necessary for impaired driving charges? Where these committed while under the influence of narcotics? Examples of waivers you post are not lengthy at all when it comes to charges laid (just 1 or 2 at most from the early 90s). Just regular people who were caught up in the system after something silly they did years ago (driving drunk, caught up in a fight, broke something, drugs for personal use, etc.). Criminalized for good, no second chances is the memo....An one out of context situation where they acted on impulse....Most of them are now in their later years, pensioners, grandparents, etc.
Yet, society decided to banish the younger offenders into poverty nowadays....They hand out discharges, yet they keep records of you for life, accessible at court houses in many provinces. Whatever happened to the right to be forgotten? A slap on the wrist they say, but professional orders no longer allow them in their ranks. Yet, we don't have enough doctors, engineers, nurses, lawyers, etc.?
I thought CBP was quite lenient on drunk driving....Same goes for simple assault, mischief under....Canada on the other hand....
I mean where do we draw the line? The current administration calls for a 51st state, yet makes it increasingly difficult to travel South. My fellow Canadians why would you shove thousands of dollars to visit a place that deems you a criminal...Meetings can be done on Teams, Zoom, etc. Some are truck drivers, I get it, but still, there is no need to visit NYC, Vegas, if you don't need to. The true criminals are roaming the streets, running governments, yet smoking a joint is punishable for life.
