    Starting in August is a bit late to call it a summer experiment!

    Public drunkenness should be illegal (fined). Having a drink outside shouldn’t be.

    Seriously, everything is fine in other less puritanical countries that allow this.

    I’ve been discreetly and tastefully drinking in parks since I was old enough to drive. I’ve never once been stopped by police because who would bother someone quietly drinking a can? I don’t imagine this will change much in practice, but I’ll be interested to see the policy in action.

      since I was old enough to drive.

      So, what’s that, like 4-5? Certainly individual development varies.

    Etobicoke central councilor Stephen Holyday wants “No Drinking” signs for parks in his ward. How long until they read:

    No, Drinking!
