  1. Such hilarity the ‘Mounted police cameras will patrol Beach festival’! Slight overkill or what? Just imagine if *GASP* the Macs in question sold beer, like every other corner store in the world. Whoa.. call out the police helicopters, riot squad.. for 300 ‘unruly’ teenagers!

    Toronto, despite its pretending to be one of the Global Centre’s of Whatnot, is still just a little anal-retentive Ontario town, where fun is highly regulated and the kids can’t even hang out at the only game in town: the non beer selling Macs.

    Vote for increased Police spending. Don’t want those teens to become unruly! (until they travel, that is)
