What is beyond ridiculous is the disregard of fundamental freedoms we have guaranteed, and the treating of students as less deserving of basic services like EMS.
Then why is it all of a sudden so different when the region pays for instead of the cities.
OK, so we go with that. So then, the City of Waterloo needs to enforce their by-laws, and the police need to enforce the law. If that means arresting or charging every student with a drink in their hand, then do it. By-law would need to charge each and every homeowner for any violation .
As for the 'they do not make a crowds act's illegal', one would have to be incredibly naïve to believe that most weren't breaking the law. Chances are, most, if not everyone, were.
What is ridiculous is are the universities and city of Waterloo not taking ownership in this party. Our fundamental freedoms don't trump our right to basic services like EMS. This is what happens with this party. Nor are these freedoms guaranteed if they're breaking the law, and/or, risking the general public.
If you feel it's OK if someone dies because EMS is tied up with this party then say it. Personally, I'm not OK with that.
