If they are going to ban smoking, they should at least offer a trade off to the hospitality industry by abolishing last call.

Most places in the world survive just fine without a last call. Why should the state tell me when i can and cannot have alcohol?

This law is just a left over relic from the days when this law was enacted to ensure that everyone went to church the next day.

I definitely agree with u on that one...

I dunno... keeps the drunks from lingering..

This is the stupidest law ever! Instead of drinking, people end up doing drugs cuz no one wants to stay at a club sober til 7-8AM. So instead of collecting tax money off the drinks sold after 2AM, they're wasting tax money on fighting drugs. Idiots.

liquor laws are not on the books because they make sense they are there because politicians are cowards who are not willing to do anything conceived as risky!!!
Most people are in bed before midnite, and most people when consulted in opinion polls would say they they don't favor change because they don't see the need; hence the politicians who are vote sluts inaction on such issues.
Essentially it is governing by opinion polls. Imagine making noise bylaws based on the opinion of deaf people!!! Welcome to Ontario!!

keeps drunks from lingering? How so?

If anything it promotes binge drinking so as to beat the 2am deadline. And then in cases where the bars close at 2 or 2:30 id argue it actually helps PROMOTE drunk driving.

I think its time for our "socially progressive" nation to put its money where its mouth is.

This is why if young people voted more and made this an issue, politicians would have to listen to us and make changes...
