The government will announce in its budget this week that it will legalize the practice often seen in parking lots at sporting events in the United States. Premier Doug Ford's executive director of strategic communications tweeted that the change means the government is treating adults like adults. Tailgating parties will be made possible by amending a regulation that sets out the terms for special occasion liquor permits.
Any parking lot or venue within a reasonable distance from a major sports complex, such as Toronto's Rogers Centre or Scotiabank Arena, would be able to apply for the permit.The news comes after thousands of teachers and supporters descended on the legislature over the weekend to protest education changes, including larger high school class sizes.
