Every year, thousands of Canadians are injured or killed because someone chose to drive impaired. Behind each number is a name, a story, a family forever changed because someone chose to do something we all know to be dangerous, reckless, illegal, and frankly, stupid.

When you lose someone to impaired driving you are deeply heartbroken, and righteously angry, furious that their death was senseless and preventable.

Why? Why do people still do this? Why are Canadian lives still being stolen? Are we really okay with this? Why do we continue to tolerate it? What will make this change?

I’m your host, Amanda Bickell, and this is LIVID: Learning, Insights, and Voices on Impaired Driving. This podcast is about real stories, hard truths, and how through learning and honest conversation, we can move from anger to action, and work toward a Canada free from impaired driving.
