apparantly a new counsellor wants to stop new afterhours clubs from opening and make the 3 that exist close at around 3am. The bill will be voted on on March 28th. There ia a petition on this site:
http://ravemontreal.com
here is the text of the e-mail I received for more info:
169 noms en 1 journée sur la pétition!!!
Dans un geste de discrimination flagrante envers la culture électronique à Montréal, Mr. Laramée, nouveau Conseiller Municipal, est maintenant en pleine campagne pour non seulement empêcher de nouveaux after-hours d'ouvrir, mais également d'obliger le Stereo, le Aria et le Sona de fermer les portes à 3 am. Ainsi, Mr. Laramée veut détruire une culture qui non seulement est bien établie depuis plus de 8 ans, mais qui fait la réputation de Montréal sur le plan international. Surtout, et il faut le mettre en évidence, ce geste est une atteinte à votre liberté.
D'ici le 3 mars, il y aura une première tablée pour accepter la proposition de loi, et elle sera votée le 28 mars 2003 prochain. Ce qui laisse un peu plus de 1 mois pour faire entendre votre mécontentement. Nous voyons notre scène dépérir sans dire un mot de notre nature pacifiste, mais la situation est maintenant assez inquiétante pour faire valoir nos droits de fêter après 3 am. Commencez dès maintenant en remplissant la pétition suivante. De plus, nous allons vous tenir au courant à savoir si un rassemblement publique sera nécessaire. Pour mettre votre nom sur la pétition, allez sur le site suivant : http://ravemontreal.com/
Est-ce bien utile de préciser qu'il faut faire circuler?

To paraphrase Dante and several politicians that followed him, "The hottest part of hell is reserved for those who see wrongdoing and stand by doing nothing."
The 'complaining neighbors' made their voices heard. We should do likewise. That petition looks like a good start... |

I know some of you younger guys are gonna hate me for saying this but
i kinda wish that afterhours went from 9pm to 3am instead of running into the morning. Having the headliner hit the decks at 11 pm or midnight would be so sweet. I've been doing this for a long time and getting started at 2-4am kills me but i still do it, less often then before though :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: |

wouldnt really be an afterhours then would it.. I really dont care when they put on the main djs, but I REALLY hate how Ottawa and Toronto close down at 2 am. There should be fun for all hours of the day. |

| Hey Ottawa closed at 6AM for Joof? They don't need to close earlier, they usually do because people aren't up for it |
