I have a problem with the province jumping on the .05 issue, when it has not been proven that .05 is a state of impairment. A very long-established guideline.
This is a police state issue. If you want to continue going on about .05 drivers going out and running over a little kid. coulda, woulda, shoulda!!
When we roll-over to this type of beuracracy, we are opening the gates for more stupid laws to be introduced.
WHAT?!! There are people living here with guns? But what about the children?
Go on. Roll over and take it some more.

Care to provide some proof for that statement because a quick google search shows that you are wrong.
More countries use .05 BAC as a limit for Impaired driving than .08 BAC. Add in to those that use LESS than .05 BAC and out of 82 countries on the chart including some of the heaviest drinking countries in the world, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Russia, Germany etc.. 59 have .05 BAC or LOWER. I even left out those 5 countries where ANY alcohol is illegal.
Oh and I have something to reference.

Oh and here is a study by Austrians lowering the limit from .08 BAC to .05 BAC and its correlation to a reduction in accidents.
