Toronto’s EDM ban fails, voted down 31-4
Electronic music once again prevails in the face of legislation from city officials, this time at Toronto's Exhibition Place. It was recently reported that Toronto had banned all electronic music events at the venue but yesterday the city council voted 31-4 to overturn the ban citing that it was a "deliberately manufactured moral panic" in what Councillor Gord Perk described as a "business competitive issue," noting that recent studies have shown that EDM events at Exhibition Place are much safer than their illegal warehouse counterparts.
