However, perhaps blaring student unfriendly music onto Ezra Street might serve that function just as well as horrible weather. What music would be universally unfriendly? Waterloo could hire the city of Kitchener to do the event.
Frankly, thank you for making my, "this is clearly student hate", argument for me, a second time.
Well, that's a complete lie, and you know that Dan. I don't hate the students. What I do hate is the extraordinary costs to the region. I hate the risk it poses to the rest of the region. I hate that the city of Waterloo, Laurier and WRPS don't do anything about it. I hate that it's going to take a tragedy to get it to stop (and yes, that could be my kid at that party once they're old enough).
And that party is illegal. Just because the police don't do anything about it doesn't make it legal. It's no different when those activists shut down the Gardiner in Toronto -- wasn't legal just because of police inaction. Just like cheating on your taxes isn't legal because you don't get caught (and you never will if it's a really small amount of money -- say $5,000).
