The laws in the GTA are preventing any late/overnight parties ("raves") from happening. And I'm sure some guys trying to revive the whole warehouse rave scene can attest to that.
But there is nothing to prevent organizers from creating events during the day. I just want to remind people that DEMF and Ultra Music Festivals end at mid-night. Is it possible for something like that in Toronto? Maybe. Will people go? Yes. Will there be people saying that a party is not a party unless it lasts overnight? Probably. But I see from various treads, that there are many people preferring, like me, to go home early in the night, rather than in the morning.

The party scene in Toronto reflects the city itself. Toronto had a renaissance in the 90s when it came to everything including parties. Then it all got squashed under a litany of bureaucratic red tape, corruption and unnecessary laws and regulations. Again im not talking about JUST the party scene when i make these statements. Look around you, Toronto is NOT a fun place to be anymore whether you are going to a bar or parking your car or throwing out your garbage.

Toronto is a dying city and no one wants to admit it. The cracks are finally getting too large to ignore but sadly it may be too late to do anything about it. For one thing, Miller and his buddies are not only failing to prevent it, they are making it worse. And these goons are stilla round for at least another 3 years.

Woe is me for the city i grew up in and sadly now forced to leave due to its decline in both lifestyle and opportunity.

RIP Toronto

You May Want to add "IMO" to that as i disagree with you whole heartly Toronto may not be your ideal city (in every possible way not only scene) but personally i love it to me it is a fun city... so i dont think we need your rip toronto ..Pity pity pity i have to leave sob story ... as toronto has so amny great things to offer, but maybe instead of people complaing about how things are so "bad" and embraced what we have, things would jsut ge3t better from where they already are... IMO

How would he know?

The funny thing is that a lot of old-timers don't go to parties... and then turn around and say they aren't happening!

BTW, who's coming out to the free party in the forest this weekend?

They may not go, but I bet they still get invited or hear about them.

Well hey if you guys want to keep your head in the as to where toronto is headed then thats your business...

Being a bit older i have a perspective thats a bit different. Ive seen toronto when it was successful and thats why i recognize the downhill slide. Its a real shame that we let it come to this. And at the rate we are going we havnt seen anything yet.

I used to take pride in Toronto. It saddens me to make these comments but i dont wear rose coloured glasses i guess.
