South Bayview Bulldog preface: This story is concerning but comes with questions ordinary readers will want answered before they can make sense of the so-called “all-ages EDMs”. For example, what’s an all-ages EDM? Sure, we get the electronic dance music (EDM) bit but what does “all-ages” mean? This story by Peter Kuttenbrower of the National Post talks of an interview with a “bartender” at the event where 29 went to hospital. Is there liquor served? Are there liquor laws? (We know there are). The Kuttenbrower story begins: Senior police have warned (Councillor) Mike Grimes that “we are going to find one of these kids in the lake,” if Exhibition Place continues to host all-ages Electronic Dance Music parties, the city councillor told a meeting of the board Friday. “This is not the kind of business we want at Exhibition Place,” added Mr. Grimes, chair of the fairground board.
