Ford Government Planning to Legalize Tailgating in Ontario
Published April 8, 2019 at 11:07 pm
An upcoming change planned by the provincial government is already being met with mixed reactions.
Multiple sources indicate that the government is planning to legalize tailgating across the province, which would allow residents to hold parties with food and alcohol in the parking lots of venues being used for sports games (assuming the venue is permitted to).
This would also allow permit holders to sell alcohol on their property.
Well, this is interesting. Sports fans in Ontario will soon be able tailgate, as early as this week. Parking lots/structures can apply for a permit, and permit holders will also be able to sell alcohol on property. Leafs/Bruins Game 3 in Toronto is next Monday.

The upcoming legalization of this typically American pasttime appears to be part of the provincial budget that will be released on Thursday.
While some residents approve of legalizing tailgating, others have expressed opposition to it, especially among the some of the government’s recently unpopular actions such as proposing changes and cuts to education.
