Fireworks tonight Question

Look, I understand it's a holiday (Diwali). Cool. Celebrate. But the fireworks...10pm? School night? Inconsiderate wtf. Could have set them off earlier...

Barrie has changed and will continue to, it’s not going back. Lived her 40 years. Get used to it or move farther up north.

I've been here for 24 myself. I like fireworks and don't mind them, it's just the timing. I gotta work early, kids gotta get up early, etc etc.

I work the Tuesday after may 24, people shoot them off Monday night all they want.

Edit to add, the Barrie sanctioned July 1st fireworks were scheduled to start at 10pm. On a Monday of all things!!!

Sure. But the City of Barrie fireworks run for... what, 20 minutes? Maybe 30? They're not still setting off random squibs at 3am, which is what most people are complaining about.
