We should have left them sitting there. Canada has been sensitive to DUI offenders for at least 15 years. My wife and I took a company-paid excusion on the passenger ferry from Seattle to Victoria in 1992 along with another 50 employees and contractors. Three of them were refused entry and had to depart on the next ferry for the USA. Their offenses were also DUI. The got back into the USA with no problem; after all, legally they had never actually left.
