Yeah mandatory breathalyzer is fine and I think is more fair than having an officer making a judgement after you roll down your window.

If you drink, take transit or hire a ride. There's no two ways about drinking and driving.

I will be against mandatory weed tests as those don't test accurately enough yet. (Even if I'm not a marijuana user myself).

take transit

Ha! I can just take the one bus every 2 hours that goes by the bar.

If you can't make a plan to get home safely while you're sober, maybe you should go to a different bar, or not go altogether. Your right to get shitfaced doesn't cover being a danger to the public.

Yes, I'm the guy who would go to the bar with his friends, maybe have one drink at the beginning of the night, and make sure they got home safely.

I don't drink and drive (a wobbly bike ride at 2am feels great), I just think it's funny that transit is always pushed as an option in Canada when we almost don't have it.

The federal govt should be putting $18B into public transit instead of oil and gas.

Well, I can't disagree on that last part.
