Ontario Extends Bars to 4AM for World Cup

Ontario’s late-night bar party for the World Cup is on — extending hours to 4 a.m. through July 19 — while B.C. stays put, arguing its games fit within existing hours. Premier Ford’s move lets fans chase global matches across time zones, but B.C.’s liquor board says no blanket change needed. Still, some Vancouver bars got special late-night licenses — proving local flexibility beats provincial policy. Time zones, not attitudes, are the real story — and if Ontario’s experiment works, B.C. might follow suit next time. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
