[OT: DUI] Canadian immigration police

[haygood at myway.com (Brian Haygood)]

I'm sure I have missed lots of intellegent banter by not reading the whole thread, but here's my input.  Slightly less tactful than usual because I lack sleep, but...



If the idiot can't keep his beers, keys and right foot in check any better than that, I'm kinda glad he at least gets some kind of hassles for it.  Too bad the Canucks are leaving him with us, but good for them for not taking him.  Sure, he's probably a great guy, but there should be more consequences for people doing stupid crap like this.  And, no, this is not a case of "everybody does it once in a while". They simply don't.



I've worked too many accident scenes involving people who, "just had one or two beers" to feel sorry for somebody being minorly inconvenienced as a result of doing something that stupid.

All sorts of criminals cross between the US and Canada daily because all they need is a driver's license.<br>The 9-11 hijackers/whackos/killers had an average of 3 USA dreiver's licences each, allowing them to cross USA/Canada/Mexico as USA citzens and travel onward to other nations from Canada/Mexico on their passports.<br><br>That's nice about your friend's Mom retiring to Canada. Good for her! <br>Is your "friend's mom's son" following her to school in Canada because nobody ever cut the umbilical cord? <br>Perhaps my analogy seems far fetched to some "generation whatevers", but if he is old enough to drive, it is time they each found there own lives. Therefore, if "he" wants to be an immigrant, he's old enough to do it on his own and based on his own track record. If his misbehavior has made him a criminal, then he is old enough to face the consequences of his misbehavior. <br><br>I'm happy to hear that Canada has cracked down on accepting USA based felons. Good for 
Canada. <br>Time for the USA to reciprocate.<br><br>Finally, your attitude toward DUI suggests you haven't attended to very many people in mangled wrecks.<br><br>"Liberalism is a mental disorder."

the<br>charges were dropped to Careless only which still carries a 90 day<br>suspension but no DUI on the record.<br><br>Now we can't figure out just how this affects him. Some websites show<br>revocation as a naughty crime by itself. The state will be slow to<br>correct their records and much theoretical agony is being had.<br><br>Visa-wise, he was planning to apply there. The paperwork for<br>criminals into Canadia is incredibly complex. Traffic violations are<br>classed as minor so technically he is legal. Should he worry? Why are<br>y'all so strict or is it all legal mumbo-jumbo that no one bothers with?<br>Border-wise, US DUI offenders probably enter Canada thousands of times a<br>day, right?  He's never ever done anything else wrong :(<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Scirocco-l mailing list<br>Scirocco-l@scirocco.org<br>http://neubayern.net/mailman/listinfo/scirocco-l<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Scirocco-l
