17-Feb-06. And speaking of addiction. Calgary Herald, A28.

This editorial discusses a recent initiative by the Alberta government to place addictions counsellors in two casinos to help compulsive gamblers. The author says that the government’s logic is convoluted on this issue and accuses it of putting on a self-righteous display of concern for the gamblers while also encouraging them to gamble. It is suggested that the government should also address its own addiction to gambling revenues.
