It appears that despite such draconian rules canada still leads all nations in drunk driving deaths

OMNI because facts are mis-stated

And since that is the fact, do you figure we in Canada should "lighten up" on the penalties and then let more formerly convicted drunk drivers enter our country for a little sightseeing?

It's proportion of deaths that involve alcohol.

Given how many people are killed by drunk drivers in southern US where laws are very lax, I find it hard to believe this, unless there are just a lot of car crash related deaths in US.
