Oh, and the other side-effect will be that loads of bars and clubs will go bankrupt because they can't make enough money from opening time until midnight to cover their costs. Or they will charge entry fees to bars and hike the price of meals and drinks.
Can you imagine what will happen in 2010? It will just excacerbate the stereotype that is out there of Canadians being boring and not knowing how to have fun (I know all of my friends laughed at me when I told them I was moving from London to Canada...they all did the "banjo dance" and called Vancouver the Wild Wild West)

Dont worry all the pubs and clubs will be opened nice and late for the Olympics. Infact I would be suprised if there werent ones open 24/7. But right after that bang back to the old ways. In any case I could care less this just another reason to justify me geting the hell out of this city, personally I cant take it anymore. I feel really really sorry for people who havent lived elsewhere because this is a joke. There should be a number of pubs open 24/7 not closing even earier then the ridiculous times of 2am. Your bound to get a disaster when you kick everyone out of a packed pub club at 2am or even more packed at 12am. On top of that you leave a couple places open till 3am so you can give all these people who are now outside all at the same time the chance to head to Granville where you repeat theprocess of kicking everyone out early. I dont this is really a joke, on top of this their taking out smoking rooms out of pubs and expect everyone to go outside...what a joke, find me one person who has a problem with a smoking room in a pub...or better yet find me a pub with a decent sized smoking room where the number of people in it outnumber the number of people out of it...yes pretty much every pub. But I could care less because im out a here, and I dont want to be called a sell out because unfortunately I know how much better it is elsewhere, I love this city and keep gving it a chance but I feel like im living in a stray jacket and I cant take it anymore.
