The only instance in which I can abide them is when they bring in funds for first nations.

But even there there's plenty of corruption.

Gaming is gambling and gambling preys on people, especially the poor.

Sad to see this morning in my local Safeway a Lotto dispensing machine.

There was a line to use it.
