A sweeping overhaul of Canada’s impaired driving laws was given Royal Assent on Thursday, meaning the new rules are starting to come into effect and drivers should be prepared.
Bill C-46 made reforms to both alcohol-impaired driving and drug-impaired driving, and police now have powerful new tools to detect and charge drivers. The bill also made many technical changes to help the courts deal with impaired driving cases more quickly.
There are three big — and controversial — changes Canadians will need to know about.

TBH, I’m American, and from what I’ve seen, Trudeau seems to be much more popular and liked in the US than he is in Canada (though in our defense, literally anyone, even Doug Ford, looks good in comparison to Trump).
My best guess, though please remember I’m a certified idiot and not that informed compared to like, 90% of the people I know, is that he gets less (and generally better) publicity in the USA. Meanwhile, we have to live with whatever his decisions are, so we end up hearing a lot more of it (and living it), if that makes sense? It probably doesn’t, honestly.

i’m honestly just. i’m angry, yeah, but mostly i’m just. disappointed. i even got my mother to vote NDP, she got a bunch of other people we know, and i’m just.
even that little bit of good in the world feels fucking empty right now. what the hell is gonna happen to me? we don’t know. i live on disability! my mother lives on disability, and i live with her, so i don’t even get the full amount! we’re already fucking poor! i’m going to college in toronto, probably, and now i really regret applying. i shouldn’t have to feel that way!
i’m bisexual and autistic and open about both of those things! what the actual fuck is going to happen to me because of that? i don’t know!
because of my mom’s disabilities she spent a lot of my childhood in the hospital. enough that i remember the old hospital waiting areas better than i do my own childhood bedroom. i’m so, so fucking worried right now.
in short: if you voted for doug ford, fuck you.
The worst part of a PC win is that we don’t know what exactly is going to happen. Other parties had clear and costed platforms, and Ford had a series of last-minute, vague promises amongst a sea of attacks on the Liberals and NDP. All we have is shorty conservatives and a deep but vague sense of dread.
To Anyone Upset About Ontario Election
Now is not the time to lose hope. Sure, this election may have been a major blow to those of us who are vulnerable, but that doesn’t mean the fight ends here.
Now is the time to go out there and show extra support for our lgbt+ community, educational faculties, healthcare providers, POC, indigenous communities, those living with disabilities or with mental illness, and anyone who may be negatively effected by Ford’s actions.
When the going gets tough, remember to raise your voice and fight for what’s right! It will get better, so long as there are people who care enough to stand by and help others, we can and will make it through the next 4 years 🌸
