This editorial-style comment by Father Raymond J. De Souza discusses the fact that gambling has seemingly purchased new credibility with the public. He notes that gambling revenue is being regarded as a solution to problems such as urban renewal, First Nations development, tourism development, and school fundraising. He says that there is something ignoble about using it as an all-purpose means of fundraising, and as a replacement for revenues previously provided by taxation or charitable giving.
