JUST A REMINDER THAT DRINKING AND DRIVING OFFENCES SPEAK IN TERMS OF A “CONVEYANCE” – the definition of which is: “a motor vehicle, a vessel, an aircraft or railway equipment”. This includes any vehicle that is motorized to any degree in any way and a vessel does not have to be motorized.

A PUBLIC SERVICE MESSAGE – For anyone who was at the “Ottawa Protest” I recommend that you lawyerup with a criminal defence lawyer. For anyone who was there with a truck, just because you left doesn’t mean that the police won’t confiscate your rig, possibly when they come to serve you with criminal charges. For anyone who had kids there you may want to speak with a family law lawyer to get advice on what to do if the Children’s Aid Society calls.
