they don't want people streaming onto granville again and giving Marcella Bernardo 3 months to bitch about it in the daily briefings.
all they had to do was give some notice. because they didn't it is absolutely a huge surprise and a huge kick in the gut to the restaurant industry. my local guys took prepayment too, that refund is going to be savage for them. the food waste alone is tragic.

If it's about people piling onto Granville, they could've easily put out a notice that officers will be actively giving out fines on the street, and or arrests. Simple as that. To restrict restaurants to 8pm booze sales on NYE is fucking insane.
What a ridiculous decision on so many levels that will literally elicit zero protections.
