    That sounds like a really terrible idea. We should not be encouraging gambling addicts. It’s bad enough that casinos are everywhere now.

      Canada used to have rules against betting site ads … until Bettman and the NHL took BET69 on as a sponsor. Now they’re all over the gd place on hockey games kids watch.

      Nobody can tell me these ads and companies aren’t just as bad as the tobacco ads of old.

        I wish my drug dealer would start lobbying the government, it would make my life easier and probably be a lot cheaper than she thinks.

      No, see, if you teach them to gamble when they’re young then they’ll be good at it as adults and won’t destroy their lives. /s
