What has happened to Vancouver?
It has becoming very puritancial in it’s by-laws/culture.
No fireworks,no indy racing,no PNE parade,
no smoking at beaches/parks,etc…It’s very anti-small business as well.
When I visit other countries & mention Vancouver,
they say:”No Fun City” & laugh.
It’s a good thing I left vancouver for another city…

Corey,

Anyone who says it takes a 10 year plan to have fun has clearly lost any sense of it a long time ago.

Vancouver Council has introduced a 10 year plan to fix this problem. I’m not sure why it’s taking them 10 years to do something about it, but by 2018 they say the problem of “no fun city” will be solved and the liquor licenses will be changed.

Head to my website to read all about an article I have just written on the subject.

Love what you’re doing here as well.

Scratch that. Apparently they’ve tossed the whole amendment. But that also means no later serving hours: http://www.martiniboys.com/Vancouver/articles/Vancouver-City-Council-Tosses-Liquor-Bylaw-Amendments-13683.html

[...] The buzz online and on the street now is that Vancouver City Council has decided to go back on their by-law proposal to institute a 50-50 law that would have prevented restaurants from having sustainable business models (See my original post here). [...]

I know, it’s disturbing. So much so that I’d even consider moving out of town if this stupidity moves forward.

Martiniboys.com says this will kill wine sales. It’s hard to disagree: http://www.martiniboys.com/Vancouver/articles/New-Vancouver-Liquor-Bylaw-Detrimental-to-Fine-Wine-Sales-13637.html
