Yet here in British Columbia we have a Premier of our Province that was charged for the above in Maui several years back and has since been back to Hawii many times since. Can someone answere me that question? Why does one of a certain prominent stature is allowed to do this, and the average citizen is banned for life?

Yesterday (Oct 4/06) happened to be crossing the us border and inquired about this question. Was informed that us authorities seldom inforce this law whereas it is practiced more by our Canadian authorities more so. Thanks everyone for your input.

Do you mean that if a Canadian is charged with impaired driving in the US then they are not allowed to return? Or are you saying that Americans do not allow Canadians with DWI's on their record into the US? or are you saying that Canadians will not let Canadians with DWI'S cross the border into the US?
I am Canadian and have never heard of this before, in any scenario. To attempt to answer your question I would say this:
It is possible that this is a new law and did not apply when your alcoholic Premier was originally charged, and thus does not affect his travel destinations now. It is also possible that if he is recognized as an "Ambassador" of sorts, he has amnesty (A general pardon granted by a government, especially for political offenses[offenders].)

My family vacations in Canada every year. I believe the rule is.. If you're an American with a DWI conviction, you're not allowed into Canada. I don't believe there's a reciprocal rule against Canadians entering the United States with a DWI conviction.

there's a good probability they are going to be denied. From the US Border internet website usually, any convictions for drug possession can effect in denial of get admission to. If the conviction became some time previous, you would contact the U.S. Embassy, place of work of Consular Affairs on your united states of america to acquire a waiver. different misdemeanors would effect in denial in the adventure that they were present day.

Why would you want to cross the border. You live in a country with wonderful people, gun laws, culture and education. America has nothing to offer you but Hot Dogs and a bullet.
To answer your question, though; the rich and powerful don't live in our world controlled by the laws that govern us. They live in a world of backscratching, bribes and 'spin'.
