Kroeger paid the same minimum fine that any Joe Blow here in BC would have had to pay, the fact that he has more money is technically irrelevant. Ditto with the fact that he lost his license, just cause he has enough money to pay someone to drive him around does not mean he should be punished further than everyone else. He did lose his license for more than the minimal 3 months.
Do I think the penalty for DWI is too light? Certainly. But again, that's a whole different situation.
