no doubt that our alcohol laws hurt a lot of tourism and business. But what do they care in ontario? The condo dwellers rule here and thats all that counts sadly.

The nanny state that so many people here demand is hard at work!

I saw all of that first hand at V fest 2 years ago, such a pain in the ass.


That's why nobody goes to more of these festivals here.

This quote right here proves how Ontarions DO NOT know how to party compared to Europeans and the rest of the world. They would rather party somewhere they know and are comfortable with. The others like the idea of going somewhere different or outdoors. If you want to seriously party, don't do it in Canada! lol

EDIT: after reading the article I found out the culprit for this problem is AGCO and their lack of understanding of how to manage a bar.

It's the liquor CONTROL board of ontario. It's what they do best.

More so this than the people here.

People here go to any party available only b/c there is no other option...but there is only so much they can take when it comes to security BS, being segregated into specific areas etc before people stop going. Hence the attendance records for V fest last year (or the year before...)

I disagree with that statement! (not your statement, the quote you posted). lol I'd much rather go to a festival with a commercial headliner than going to see them at a concert hall.

So would I.

I'd say what keeps people annoyed a lot of the time is the segregation part (says in the article) and also how it ends so early.

I mean the Toronto Islands rock, why not have something PROPER there?

Amend their 'lease'.

I'm thinking if documents like that can be amended why not?

until we get fresh thinking politicians in office who arent driven by a condo agenda, we arent going to see much happen in toronto. Unless it involves a big concrete box.
