parade-goers will be searched for weapons, drugs and alcohol

The search is going to be by the organizers, not the police,” Dr. Dhun Noria, acting chair of the Toronto Police Services Board said...

Now good luck with that.

No one is touching me.

Now why would anybody bring those things to a nice family-oriented event organized for the neighbourhood kids?

This is the only huge event where they always lose money..if it wasnt for funding by City Hall they go broke everytime they hold this event...why even bother....

I think it only applies to the stadium and it will be security staff hired + organizers hired to do the searches. I doubt the organizers would conduct random searches throughout the parade route.

So basically the VIP's sitting in the stands, so older people who need to sit and fairly rich people. Definitely the type to shoot up the parade

As someone who lives in the neighbourhood near the Ex where this fiasco ends up, I wonder the same thing. All it does is royally p!$s off the residents who are displaced by the rush of idiots and morons to the area. If it were not for my wife being pregnant, we would be headed out of town until this whole thing blew over.
