"They have put in over 60 applications across Ontario and they have yet to be denied a liquor licence,” says Jeff Robinson. Robinson believes that if any 7-Eleven is going to be denied a licence it should be the one at the corner of Sarnia Road and Western Road. Through two days of tribunal hearings, Robinson believes opponents have made a strong case.
"We've called expert witnesses on addiction, sex trafficking, sugar daddies, the violence on campus,” he said. “Representatives from the university have got involved."
Robinson says they aren’t finished making their case, as the tribunal proceeding continues.
The 7-Eleven in question is just steps away from Western University, and a number of the university’s largest student residences.
David Heap is a Western professor and lives near the campus.
