Actually in this case I don't think he's considered a diplomat, at least not officially. Perhaps because he's not representing the country, only the province?
In any case, to his credit (and there is very little I'll ever give him credit for) he is NOT contesting the charges. He is quite willing to pay whatever penalty is deemed fair.
By the way, considering he blew .149 over an hour after he was stopped, it sure looks like he had a LOT more than six drinks.
I guess what I was wondering was, as Americans, would you say that you would still welcome him in your country? Could he still represent our province in talks with the US or is his credibility and moral character shot in your eyes?
