Yes the city doesnt DIRECTLY contol the AGCO and technically it is a provincial body. But they know damn well that they create the local bylaws that the AGCO enforces on their behalf. And they know damn well that if the city were to put pressure on the AGCO to lay off they most certainly would.

This is not a dalton mcguinty issue mr miller. You know that you have the power to call off the hounds. Quit pretending like you dont.

I don't get mad very often when I read something, especially when it hits locally. But this is the biggest amount of bullshit I have ever heard. How many people live on the islands???? Like -500???!!! How many visitors does the Docks have anually? Do the blooddy math! That club brings a lot into Toronto's economy and is a landmark club. I sent my email to all the addresses thedocks.com provided. Keepo sending them. Over the last 8 years I have watched a lot of the palces from my late teenage years and early 20s close. I WILL NOT see this one go too!!!!!!!!

I have sent an e-mail as well. Those whiney islanders are always complaining about something. This is a dangerous precedent being set here in my opinion. I hope that this situation is cleared up. It would be sad to see such a landmark disapear

Originally posted by Floorwhore The mayor believes that the city has an obligation to enforce noise bylaws no matter where the offence takes place. It doesn’t matter if it’s a nightclub downtown or a neighbourhood bar in Scarborough or a corner pub in East York. Noise is one of the most frequent complaints made to the city. Businesses have to follow the rules of their license.

The City probably should have thought about that (the noise) before approving the residential developments (like all the condos) in the MIDDLE OF A CITY.
Hello?
Am I the only one that thinks they're hypocrites for even bringing this up...?

I am sending them a huge long ass letter telling them why this club is one of the best clubs in toronto (All of Toronto) and why it must not close!!!!
Those stupid old people at the island need to stop complaining about something that thousands of peopls enjoy!!!
This is pretty much the only decent and fun place to go in the summertime especially and they are trying to get rid of it?? GRRR!!!
I am majorly enraged and saddened over this since I heard it in the news this morning....this city will suck without a club like The Docks.

mind you, I never go to the Docks anymore, been there, done that and I saw that murder at the hullabuloo and that kinda made a impression on me ever going there again, I hope that everythign works out for them, and if worse comes to worse they could always just stick to the day time events and tourism stuff.

Ciao 4 now

Best Letter EVER!!! I'm writing mine now... I might be a little more diplomatic,,, lol... If this goes through... say GOODBYE to rooftop patios!! However, I have an honest belief that the city will back the docks in the end,,, (always the optomist),,, what it comes down to is they will miss the tax dollars received from the docks, and even if all 6 to 8 hundred residents up and left the island, there will always be people waiting to move in...

Besides all that,,, where in Toronto will Tijs play??? hahaha

~peace

Even short letters are fine, they do not need to be long.

A sincerely apology to Jayx1

I’m sorry if I dissed & offended you with my comment in protest thread. I hope you realize it’s a figure of speech and I hope you didn’t take it the wrong way. I’m also upset at what happened to the Docks and just stating my opinion about how the protest wouldn’t work. People make mistakes when they are upset and act irrational. Maybe I’m wrong, but with the iDANCE rally … it only help for a bit and suddenly the city has made an unfair protocol with the by laws of holding raves on city owned venues.

(Personal Suggestion)
I was going to mention to have a massive petition with 1000s of people supporting it. Have people volunteering to chill outside of the clubs (like the street team promoters) and to get people to sign it on the way out. You can add this with protest to have even more support.

I’ve always loved the Docks since my first rave in 95 and with the Docks being shutdown if the bill gets passed. Working at System for several years, and when that got shutdown, I was pretty depressed, even at the present time. And to loose another legendary venue/club, only would make what’s left of our saturated scene, grow even thinner. Yes I do work for The Guvernment Complex and This is London, but loosing more and more clubs/venues really makes me upset, because we need them. History repeats itself, and I’ll be dammed if we totally loose the Docks.

Once again my sincerely, apologies to you Jayx1

Sincerely,

John Tang

PS

I will be writing my short letter to show my support.

There is also this petition:

http://www.petitiononline.com/thedocks/petition.html

someone has to rewrite it to make sense but at least it's something else to do.
