Also, the defence argued that impaired persons operating vessels “propelled by muscle power” are somehow not morally culpable. Like, because, why?

      Bikes absolutely are, which may come as a surprise to all the cyclists running stop signs. So riding a bike drunk can get you a DUI. This page says (with sources cited) that most provinces in Canada don’t have clarification on if skateboards are vehicles or not. I doubt any prosecutor would actually attempt to charge someone with a DUI for skateboarding drunk, so it’ll probably be a while before an official rulling is made on that!
