City to allow more flexible opening hours
Some may remember a news story last month about small record stores being fined ridiculous amounts for staying open past official retail hours. This is about to change, although it’s not made clear here how the restriction on retail hours, decreed by the province, will be dealt with, nor whether the stores will be able to escape the high fines the Quebec inspectors levied on them.

PM has already made self-congratulatory posts on Facebook but have admitted thy can’t do anything about existing fines. All they did for the hours thing was change the zoning, it’s an easy workaround they should have enacted on Mile End’s commercial streets decades ago, as it would have avoided all this unpleasantness. I guess the PM crowd aren’t into records.
