I can guarantee you that, no matter who you are, if you are found guilty of impaired driving, or operating a motor vehicle with more than 80 mg of alcohol per 100 ml of blood, (both Criminal Code charges, not provincial Highway Traffic Act)two things will happen. One, the judge will impose a period of prohibition from driving anywhere in Canada. Two, the provincial licensing authorities will suspend your driving license.

Dangerous driving is a serious charge, but it doesn't involve an automatic driving prohibition. I'm not sure what the provincial authorities would do about the license, but as a minimum it would involve a whack of demerit points. It's been a long time since I practiced any drinking and driving law.
