Wed, 02 Dec 2009 09:00:00 EDT http://madd.ca/highlights.html#200911 MADD Canada is pleased to announce the 4th edition of Alcohol, Trauma and Impaired Driving, a fully-referenced compendium of information on alcohol and drug consumption patterns, impaired driving and other related trauma. Mon, 25 NOV 2009 09:00:00 EDT http://madd.ca/highlights.html#200911 ODealing with the legal aftermath of an alcohol or drug-related crash can be challenging and confusing. This brochure helps victims navigate the legal system by providing useful information on federal impaired driving laws, how cases are processed and the rights of victims and their families. Mon, 02 NOV 2009 09:00:00 EDT http://madd.ca/highlights.html#200909 If this year's Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) multimedia presentation was intended to make students fully grasp the consequences of drinking and driving, it seemed to do exactly that. Fri, 09 OCT 2009 09:00:00 EDT http://madd.ca/highlights.html#200907 While former Canada Safety Council president Emile Therien may believe that introducing a new streamlined .05 per cent criminal impaired driving offence is "frivolous," we would disagree. So too would the more than 85 per cent of the world's developed democracies that have made driving with a blood-alcohol concentration (BAC) of .05 per cent or above an offence. Mon, 07 JUL 2009 09:00:00 EDT http://madd.ca/highlights.html#200906 The Canada Safety Council recently released a report emphasizing that the penalties under Canada's .08 percent bloodalcohol concentration (BAC) laws are among the "toughest" in the world. Fri, 26 Jun 2009 09:00:00 EDT http://madd.ca/highlights.html#200906 MADD Canada is, overall, very pleased with the recommendations made in the June 18th report of the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights, particularly its endorsement of random breath testing. MADD Canada is disappointed, however, with the Committee's lack of progress towards a 0.05% BAC in the Criminal Code. Thu, 18 June 2009 09:00:00 EDT http://madd.ca/highlights.html#200905 MADD Canada is dispelling the misinformation about Ontario's recent revisions to its short-term administrative licence suspension (ALS) program for drivers with blood-alcohol concentrations (BACs) between .05% and .08%. Sun, 31 May 2009 09:00:00 EDT http://madd.ca/english/news/pr/p20090423-2.htm On behalf of the thousands of victims of impaired driving, MADD Canada is appalled at the disgraceful attitudes of bar owners who are criticizing Sgt. Ron Russell for doing his job and protecting the public. Thu, 23 Apr 2009 09:00:00 EDT
