20-Oct-06. Ontario’s outfit protects its turf. National Post, A14.

This editorial discusses Ontario’s proposed legislation that will forbid media companies from accepting advertising for cash-based gambling web sites. The author argues that the provincial government is attempting to unfairly suppress Internet gambling while generating huge profits from its own casino and lottery operations. In addition, the author cites a survey by the Responsible Gambling Council that actually found that moderate-to-severe problem gambling declined slightly amongst 18-to-24-year-olds between 2001 and 2005.
