new counsellor wants to shut down afterhours scene

apparantly a new counsellor wants to stop new afterhours clubs from opening and make the 3 that exist close at around 3am. The bill will be voted on on March 28th. There ia a petition on this site:

http://ravemontreal.com

here is the text of the e-mail I received for more info:

169 noms en 1 journ�e sur la p�tition!!!

Dans un geste de discrimination flagrante envers la culture �lectronique � Montr�al, Mr. Laram�e, nouveau Conseiller Municipal, est maintenant en pleine campagne pour non seulement emp�cher de nouveaux after-hours d'ouvrir, mais �galement d'obliger le Stereo, le Aria et le Sona de fermer les portes � 3 am. Ainsi, Mr. Laram�e veut d�truire une culture qui non seulement est bien �tablie depuis plus de 8 ans, mais qui fait la r�putation de Montr�al sur le plan international. Surtout, et il faut le mettre en �vidence, ce geste est une atteinte � votre libert�.

D'ici le 3 mars, il y aura une premi�re tabl�e pour accepter la proposition de loi, et elle sera vot�e le 28 mars 2003 prochain. Ce qui laisse un peu plus de 1 mois pour faire entendre votre m�contentement. Nous voyons notre sc�ne d�p�rir sans dire un mot de notre nature pacifiste, mais la situation est maintenant assez inqui�tante pour faire valoir nos droits de f�ter apr�s 3 am. Commencez d�s maintenant en remplissant la p�tition suivante. De plus, nous allons vous tenir au courant � savoir si un rassemblement publique sera n�cessaire. Pour mettre votre nom sur la p�tition, allez sur le site suivant : http://ravemontreal.com/

Est-ce bien utile de pr�ciser qu'il faut faire circuler?

ps. thanks to fastmp3

To paraphrase Dante and several politicians that followed him, "The hottest part of hell is reserved for those who see wrongdoing and stand by doing nothing."

The 'complaining neighbors' made their voices heard. We should do likewise. That petition looks like a good start...

I know some of you younger guys are gonna hate me for saying this but
i kinda wish that afterhours went from 9pm to 3am instead of running into the morning. Having the headliner hit the decks at 11 pm or midnight would be so sweet. I've been doing this for a long time and getting started at 2-4am kills me but i still do it, less often then before though

Czaoth to tell you the truth i agree with you but i still like it like that

wouldnt really be an afterhours then would it.. I really dont care when they put on the main djs, but I REALLY hate how Ottawa and Toronto close down at 2 am. There should be fun for all hours of the day.

Hey Ottawa closed at 6AM for Joof? They don't need to close earlier, they usually do because people aren't up for it

ummm...last i checked ottawa didnt close at 2am...

Posted by beatjunkie on Feb-28-2003 13:53:

Neither does Toronto.

even regular bars in ottawa close at 3am :P, i think your getting confused with when they stop serving alcohol. And surface is open till 6am every saturday.
