Good journalism. I think it would be useful to look into the aggressive advertising for gambling on YouTube for example. Every single ad is one for some form of Ontario gambling or online casino ad. It’s crazy how much gambling and sports betting is becoming prevalent in young people

Yeah, well that's a Canadian thing isn't it? In Nova Scotia, you have the VLT's… You have VLT's in legions… And it was in one of those legions where my father in his 90s gambled away 90% of his life savings… He had the beginnings of dementia… Where is all that fucking revenue going? It's not 1974 going towards the 76 Olympics in Montreal.– – – so where is it going? I suspect they have a bloated workforce 100 K here 80 K there 300 K for this big shot… Here's another interesting thing – – our provincial federal and municipal governments in Canada love to overregulate, and it keeps the 400 million lawyers in Canada employed… So why when I walk into a very socialist government controlled and owned liquor/beer store do I never see any posters about the dangers of driving with alcohol or cancer and alcohol or alcoholism? You can't physically see cigarettes… That's how regulated that is and there's more but it would be too lazy for me to detail every warning and every regulation.

What’s interesting is the YouTube ads for gambling were concentrated in certain geographic areas for years before further expanding into other parts of regions.
