"When we catch you, and we will catch you, on top of a hefty fine, a criminal charge and a year's driving suspension we will also provide you with a bonus gift of playing the office's copy of NICKELBACK in the cruiser on the way to jail,"

I heard this on the TV news today -- and their comments were, in essence: "they're [Nickleback, that is] nice guys; why all the hate?"

Me, too.
It's a magnificent rendering of a terrible story.
I still think it's remarkable that the actual event wasn't dredged up from the annals of history -- it happened in 1975.
- and Lightfoot's canon is full of wonderful songs. Yes, he (and the aforementioned Bruce Cockburn) are national treasures up North.

The saga continues, and it's still funny as hell.

http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/cop-behind-nickelback-drunk-driving-warning-apologizes-to-the-band/
The too kind Canadian PC Police apologized for their joke."Well, as we have seen, our little post became an international story. And somewhere in the noise, the message of 'don't drink and drive' was overshadowed by negativity towards the band I said I would play if you did.
"At first, I admit, I was fine with the way I worded the post. I was sure a hugely successful band would be fine with a little good will shade thrown their way, after all it's for a good cause. But the more successful the post became, the less the 'don't drink and drive' message was mentioned and the fact we love or love to hate NICKELBACK took centre stage. And that prompted me to think less about NICKELBACK as the 'entity' and more about the four guys, four human beings from Alberta who were dragged into this international story. And the more I thought about that, the less funny the humor seemed.
