-- TORONTO -- A drunk driver who killed four people and was banned from driving for life managed to get his licence back in an apparent bureaucratic foul-up, the Ontario government said Tuesday.So... a la Maxime Bernier... will Premier McSlippery's Minister of Transportation, or Minister of Corrections be tendering his resignation?
He had been given a seven-year sentence and a lifetime driving ban in 1999 after pleading guilty to causing a crash while driving drunk in a stolen vehicle. Four people were killed in the crash and two others were injured.
Mr. Scott was released on parole in 2004 and promptly reapplied for, and was granted, a new driving permit.

FROM THE COMMENTS:
Now this is totally unconfirmed, but I heard his request for vanity plates reading "kild4adem" was promptly rejected by the ministry.**********
Good job guys.

Stooge takes exception to my crack about the over-hyped Bernier tempest.
Well, at least... this time... Stoogie's not trying to stir up sympathy for a rapist.
