On the CBC station this morning, there was an interview with Mel Lastman,
Mayor of North York (one of the biggest boroughs in Toronto) in which
was discussed the new by-law to regulate video games parlours.  One owner
was interviewed as well.  The owner stated that all his machines are run
by tokens, not quarters, which must be bought from the counter man.  He said
that they will not sell tokens to school children during school hours and
that they take other precautions and reserve the right to cut off anyone
who appears to be in bad shape or is rowdy and disturbing others.  Lastman's
final comment was that licencing is needed.  Here we go again, yet another
bureau in the city government.  *sigh*.
