before i became actively involved in the casino debate, i knew i didn't want it and i couldn't figure out why. i knew it had something to do with the government being involved, but couldn't put my finger on what exactly my issue with it was. this is it. when something has been proven to destroy lives, real lives- not statistical lives, or percentage of people lives - why is the government not only condoning and making money from it (smokes and booze) but actively promoting it in a place that can ill afford its social costs to people who are already vulnerable? its shameful and short sighted. i realize how melodramatic this sounds, but the blood of each problem gambler's suicide and the fallout that comes with it are on the OLG and Government of Ontario's hands.
