But wait .... casinos will be exempt and still able to serve 24 hours a day! So it's OK to gamble and drink, but not OK to dance and drink in a club after 4am? Wonder how that can be justified, because it sure sends an odd message about gambling. I guess it just shows the benefit of pouring plenty of dollars into the back pockets of our MPs, as the casino industry obviously does.
