I take that to mean beer or wine. I don't know if they would ask you to prove somehow that a premixed cocktail was <15%, though it doesn't take much dilution to reduce liquor to that concentration.

Yeah, totally. It's going to happen whether some wealthy councillors like it or not.Whatever. People are going to drink in parks anyway, so eff Thompson.
Just having a gay old time.Yeah, totally. It's going to happen whether some wealthy councillors like it or not.
But the issue now is that police still have the power to harass people for it, which will disproportionately affect groups like people of colour, LGBTQ+ people, etc, because they are more frequently targeted by the police. Which is why it's disappointing to see supposedly "progressive" councillors like Cressy vote against this measure.
Anyway, I'll just get me a nice big metal water bottle for this summer (assuming the government comes to it senses and lets us do things outside) and hope the police don't notice me and my friends are all pretty gay.
Thompson trying to claim we aren't "the city of no" is hilarious, because that's exactly what we are.
Especially in a pandemic where we should be doing anything possible to encourage people to spend time outside instead of inside. This is just going to push some people to gather indoors when they would have been safer outside in a park.But what it is, is low-hanging fruit; an easy way to make some people's lives just a bit more fun/easier; and to better manage police/by-law resources.
I'm sure most of the councillors opposed to this are confused why people just can't use their own backyards, cus in their minds, everyone has one of those.
you can go outside and not consume alcohol -you don't have to drink.Especially in a pandemic where we should be doing anything possible to encourage people to spend time outside instead of inside. This is just going to push some people to gather indoors when they would have been safer outside in a park.
Honestly it should be such a no-brainer, but I guess this is what happens when you have a city where something like over 40% of people live in apartments/condos and yet almost none of city council does. I'm sure most of the councillors opposed to this are confused why people just can't use their own backyards, cus in their minds, everyone has one of those.
