Well, if it says so in the newspapers, it must be true! (sarcasm intended)
The comparisons alluded to in the article cited have nothing to do with the substance of this matter. To wit, calling someone uncle Adolf just because you don't agree with policies that have nothing to do with liberty and freedom is just villifying by association. 

The substance of this matter is the gradual and subtle transformation of this country into a police state. Uncle Adolf didn't have the monopoly of police states. "Papieren Bitte" could also be applied to East Germany, which was not a National Socialist state. The point being is that in Canada, you are not supposed to go to jail for the mere refusal to show your ID if you are not suspected of committing a crime.  It now appears that, in this country, you will go to jail for the refusal to submit to a breathaliser, even if there is no reasonable cause for police to request it.
