I don't disagree with you (helped run a "safe rides" program in my youth). Just pointing out the difference in approach between USA and Canada and anticipating responses from people upset that Canada views DUI as it does and trying to keep on the topic of entry how/why/etc vs drifting into whether or not the Canadian view makes more or less sense than the American. Every country treats some crimes more harshly than others, as is their right and reflective of their norms, ideals, politics, and culture. Other countries might want to block visitors with felonies but not care about DUIs.
