As laws around drinking in parks relax in cities across Canada, public health concerns are still being raised (Natalie Stechyson / CBC News)

I mean in Toronto the joke is that every year it's not legal is just another year of illegally drinking in parks. It's happening anyway in basically every park, so just make it legal already.

It can't be reliably enforced (drunkenness can, yes, but anyone can hide a drink), so it just sits there on the books to incriminate normal activities, and occasionally serve as useful tool for police to harass certain people.
