Refuse to blow next time. Your license will be suspended for 3 months and the cop will probably kick your ass, but they won't have evidence to prosecute.

This would seem to be bad advice in my jurisdiction.
s. 254(5) of the Criminal Code: Everyone commits an offence who, without reasonable excuse, fails or refuses to comply with a demand made under this section.
Punishment
255. (1) Every one who commits an offence under section 253 or 254 is guilty of an indictable offence or an offence punishable on summary conviction and is liable,
(a) whether the offence is prosecuted by indictment or punishable on summary conviction, to the following minimum punishment, namely,
(i) for a first offence, to a fine of not less than $1,000,
(ii) for a second offence, to imprisonment for not less than 30 days, and
(iii) for each subsequent offence, to imprisonment for not less than 120 days;
(b) where the offence is prosecuted by indictment, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding five years; and
(c) if the offence is punishable on summary conviction, to imprisonment for a term of not more than 18 months.
