14-Apr-06. McCarty’s Flame-out. Calgary Herald, A20.

This short editorial discusses the US bankruptcy claim recently filed by professional ice hockey player Darren McCarty of the Calgary Flames. The editorialist notes that among McCarty’s debts were thousands of dollars owing to casinos in Las Vegas and Detroit. The Alberta government is urged to treat his experience as a reminder of the misery behind the $1.3-billion in revenue that the province generates from gambling activities.
