Ottawa police let my friend get away with drunk driving

Hi. I'm still upset about the situation, so please bear with me on how I explain this. I called the cops on this girl who was driving drunk after going out, and she had my other friends in the car. I wasn't aware of how bad her driving was until I got in the car and witnessed her driving, and she passed a red light and was going 45km/h over the speed limit on baseline road. When we got to a mcdonalds nearby, I told her I wasn't comfortable with her driving drunk and I would take the keys (I haven't had anything to drink). She didn't care. My friends also didn't care. They left, and I called the cops to where they were headed. They all drove back to my friends house, and I ubered back there because my stuff were still there, and I wanted to just leave and go home. When I got there, my friends were already back, and the cops were just camping out. I let them know she was inside my friend's unit. They were just waiting for not doing anything. They like saw her car and they felt it and saw it was hot. I went in to grab my stuff, and I argued with the girl, and she was admitting to me how many shots she took and how much she was smoking. I left and went out, told the cops she wasn't coming out, and they tried going in but left and said they weren't allowed in the unit? My friend gave me a ride back to my place, and she told me while I was grabbing my other stuff that I forgot the cops just left. I called 911 again when I got back (I know, I shouldn't have, but I was so frustrated), and they said cops were still placed, but that was it. Now I was told that the girl who was drunk driving gave her car to a friend and she took it, dropped her off and took the car elsewhere. The cops straight up told me that there was no reason for her to get charged. I don't know the law but I want to stop this. Everyone is defending her but I want to stop her from drunk driving ever again. Please let me know what I can do. The cops are useless.

I posted on r/Ottawa but insufficient karmas :/

Hey so I was just checking my grades on the carleton central and saw that my grade in linguistic analysis was a D+ even though I only messed up one assignment worth 15% and that's the only assignment I've ever gotten a D on. I wasn't aware that my final grade in that class was that low cause I assumed I did really good until I got a notification about my scholarship status? I'm aware it's too late to message the prof but can I still contact the faculty for a grade appeal even though it's past the 20 business days? Or anything? Thanks.
