It seems drivers are not getting the message about drinking and driving.

According to a report, Ontario provincial police laid more than 35 impaired driving related charges in the GTA since Friday morning, as part of “Operation Impact.” That’s an increase from 29 over last Thanksgiving weekend.

OPP Sgt. Kerry Schmidt told the CBC one of the impaired drivers was a Blue Jays fan. He stressed the importance of designated drivers to anyone hosting a Jays viewing party.
