The city does have a generic sign it uses that is less zazzy and more easy to miss.
Yeah, a few grandstanding councillors acting like they know better than everyone.

Kudos to the council as a whole, they voted down the motions that parks in their ridings couldn't ever have drinking which is what they wanted.

Don't get me wrong. I'm all for squirrels enjoying a nice IPA or chardonnay while hunting for nuts. What I worry about is how those stupid signs will disorient them and they won't be able to find their nests. Also, more drinkers will probably mean less tokers, which means less hackysack. Squirrels love betting on hackysack. (Don't ask me how I know).
Brands are for cattle.
Fans are cash cows.
The herd will consume until consumed.
