Apparently there was a community meeting for the Ossington area and it was said to come up with a bylaw to have no new resto/lounges open in the area and that the ones that are open aren't allowed to put in a dj booth unless it was already there to begin with.
Wtf...make up your mind. So all you want are lounges w radios/cd players?
well it's clearly desperate measures here and is an indirect response to the ban on opening liquor-licensed venues in the downtown core.
the good news is that there is no real way of enforcing such a bylaw in any case would certainly be opposed by the local business improvement board(which yields significant pull in political circles).

LOL!! I feel bad for Yen. Unfortunately, he's fighting a losing battle. Vaughan will spew all the shit he wants because that is what the people in his ward want to hear. He will undoubtedly be re-elected this year.

Honestly, I say f*** it! Let's just go back to underground and move this shit north end of the city. This way we'll have less of their shit to deal with and thus enjoy ourselves more!
The comments on the star site are great btw... Lots of people in agreement that Vaughan is contributing to the BORE factor. A BIG part of why I enjoyed Belgium/Ibiza so much was that it was so REFRESHING to not be in a stifled environment full of naysayers and over-regulation on people's fun. Oh, and, you can drink past 2am - imagine! wow! Next-up...a train that goes to the airport! amazing!

Right on right on.
Also, it was stated in one of these articles but no politician would ever think about it or would just come up with another excuse but how come during TIFF when last call is at 4am (like New York...) how come there isn't an 'even more' amount of recklessness/rowdiness than normal? (Which I'm guessing that's their rationale for having last call at 2am and not extending it?)
Just retardedness. If I lived downtown I'd put in whoever gets rid of those damned bylaws.

not that clubbing is one of the more important issues in living downtown, but that said, remember all this when election time comes up in a couple months.
educate yourself on the diff platforms for the candidates, and go vote!

For real.
Underground is not recognized as a word in Toronto. There's some of them in the hip/hop ~ rap scene but it's only a handful.
I really, really miss that place

Let's not get too overboard on this point. Keep in mind that the average attendee going to a TIFF event is not in the 19-21 age bracket, wearing FUBU and representing their colours. Yes, this is a stereotype, but if the shoe fits...
