(after 6 till 8 or 10pm) The Rio should also be allowed to screen the independent and classic movie which helped build its original fallowing. The Rio theater should be allowed to operate as a movie theater. There are very few venues that provide affordable live entertainment in Vancouver, or show the breadth of film the Rio shows.

Europe is, after all, our cultural predecessor. We shouldn't need to travel there to see "culture", we should cultivate it ourselves. A major step towards this would be to modernize archaic and byzantine liquor laws.

It is fine to ensure they don't serve alcohol while showing movies. The current law doesn't make sense and doesn't help anyone, and so should be abolished or changed. What kind of people are we to blindly follow laws that don't make sense? How can we let a cornerstone of our community perish for the sake of a regulation that serves no useful purpose?
