There was a high profile shooting recently at one of the better spots and this seems to be a bit of a knee jerk reaction.
There have been several long-standing highly publicized conflicts within the organized crime world. This may be a way for authorities to keep tabs on them a little better.
Vancouver recently started allowing clubs to stay open until 4am. Not everyone was happy about this and some of the powers that be seem to be looking for a reason to go back to a 2am closing. The nightclubs are on tin ice and they know it. They have to at least look like they are making an effort.
I live in downtown Vancouver and many of these clubs are within 3 or 4 blocks of my apartment. The funny thing is few of the locals go to many of these places because they suck. They are full of kids from the suburbs. Clubs in Vancouver are the weak link in the nightlife. The restaurants and parties are much better. Skipping on these dives will be easy. There are a few decent places but they are the exceptions.
Some background on the Vancouver nightclub scene:

I am 1 block from the pacific ocean, it is currently 10 degree celcius ( about 50 Fahrenheit for you yanks ) and not a cloud in the sky.
