During my time on the fresh coast I was able to witness funcouver's municipal election. Perhaps I'm just ignorant or maybe it's that I completely agree with that south park episode about changing the name of the school mascot (hmm... giant douche, or turd sandwich?), but I struggle to name the premier, let alone the mayor of our fair city. The thing about the left side elections though, was that the party names/ platforms were some of the craziest shit I had ever seen, which in turn kept my attention. One of the aforementioned groups was the dance party party, whose platform was to make everyone a crazy hippy and ensure there is a rave on every 2nd block within the tax base (or something like that). Obviously they didn't win, but they were one of the groups that raised the issue of extending last call. Soooooo for 1 summer we enjoyed a 4am last chance at select locations across the city. While it was an epic failure (which should have been a no brainer because Vancouver is not that type of place), it is a great idea in Toronto. By great idea I mean how it is now, where during certain events, various establishments can get an extended license. It's really doe to go to the bar at 2 30 and see everyone you've ever known in your life jumpin off like its their gf's birthdays (especially because you had no idea they would be there, although they always are on these occasions). Like I said, great idea, but not always because too much of anything can make you an .........There is definitely something to be said about excess.
