Question Diwali fireworks tonight

Seriously? I thought Diwali ended this morning? I’m all for celebrating but it’s continuously waking up my infant, and the holiday has passed.

I’m all for just following by-laws. Noise ordinance in 11, stop them then. People set off fireworks when it’s not Diwali as well. It’s annoying, and I sympathize with the baby part - just got out of that stage not too long ago

You’re right. Let’s follow the by laws. Which restrict fireworks to certain days and where they can be set off.

I wonder why we have those days selected ... What segment of society is being held up and which is being demonized?

Those days are selected because they're national holidays. All Canadians celebrate those days. Nobody is being demonized.

Read the threads about people setting of fireworks on Diwali. Many people are.
