That will be the third time this year ... Victoria Day and Canada Day are the more-or-less sanctioned fireworks days. Banning fireworks .... no way .... What next? Banning conkers; or making the kids wear hard hats and protective eye wear?  |
Spend a couple of nights in an A&E department, or on a paediatric surgical unit in the few weeks on the run up to Bonfire night and you might get a different perspective.
What is being suggested is that fireworks are only allowed to be supplied to those with a pyrotechnics licence, those who are putting on a relatively safe public display of fireworks.......though personally, I would not go to one of these either. I am not a fan of fireworks......and have seen the damage and pain that these modern fireworks can do.
