6/19/2008: Gambling Watch Canada
Good News
Data and address contacts are intact after a computer crash and we should have the Canada newsletter back shortly.
As for gamblingwatchglobal we are looking at with 3 pending lawsuits in 3 provinces, with close to 2/3rds of our population up in arms.
The lawsuits in Newfoundland and Labrador, Quebec and Ontario deal with VLT’s, self-exclusion and addiction treatment.
Ontario has 3 race track slots on strike, and OLG is lamenting.
Strange, no one is happy that these communities get 100 cents on the dollar for business
instead of the 2% handout back from the large number of whole dollars syphoned out by the OLG.
What would happen if all gambling was shut down and that 10 billion dollars in Ontario went back to the business community locally and stayed in Ontario ?
The law suits we are covering are all about cash flow crash flow.
