Doug Ford can go fuck himself. He legalized the commercials that led to the rise of online gambling.
As such Doug Ford is directly responsible for destroying many many lives. This is one aspect of how he has made Ontario worse for all but the rich.

By looking closely, do they mean looking at how they can bring in more tax revenues?

Limit gambling ads like cigarettes. We all know it’s there.

Making online betting and other forms of widely available and then acting surprised by the outcome. Kind of like someone buying a jet and then acting surprised and indignant when cancellation cost money.

I think a total ban on gambling advertising would make sporting events much more enjoyable to watch on tv. The gambling company’s are thumbing their noses at the ban on celebrities in the ads as well. It would be lovely to charge them and fine them.

too late. it’s already imbedded in every aspect of sports.
they crossed the final line when they started having the broadcasters give out gambling tips.

Gambling ads are an especially repulsive feature of our current times.

Anytime I play games on my phone, I am inundated with those stupid Betty Casino ads. I used to play Uno a lot and it was a nightmare for gambling ads. I dont do in app purchases and I don’t even gamble irl

The comments in here smh. Yes, the ads are excessive and annoying, yet somehow I’ve managed not to develop a life ruining sports betting addiction. Personal accountability folks.

Bought clothes on Old Navy last week and the confirmation number showed up with a Bet99 promo code. Those ads are everywhere.

So, how this progresses?
Indifferent –> profiting –> looking closely –> investigating –> fined –> punished

All my friends bet on every game now.
Whether it’s on tv or in person, they’re cheering for different things than the rest of us and it sucks.
I hate it. It’s taken so much fun out of sports

It’s a fucking plague. Literally every commercial break when watching any sport is full of online gambling ads

Gambling is the most highly correlated addiction with suicide. Gambling addicts are men 6/7 times on average.
This is a “Killing and impoverishing young men is acceptable” policy.
Shame on these businesses, politicians, the celebrities, and the athletes that don’t give a shit as long as they get their paycheck.
Fuck all of them. They made society much more dangerous for my young boys.

Why did they spend money on ‘this is how we protect Ontario’ ads? ‘Building new jails is how we keep Ontario safe, this is how we protect Ontario’.
They didn’t need to spend ad money on that. They need to fund schools, hospitals, affordable housing and fix the justice system. Building new jails isn’t going to make Ontario safer, we need a better justice system and better programs

Ban them all

Just look at the recent hockey game playoffs. Sports betting commercials every few minutes. It’s sickening

Gee. I can’t help but notice how Doug is ruining healthcare, mental healthcare is super long wait (unless private), but he’s increasing liquor availability, there’s a weed or vape shop in every plaza and corner, and a rise in gambling/sports betting. Housing is difficult to get/afford. Is Doug trying to ruin us?!?!
Obviously the answer is yes …. But get him a jet. He dESeRvEs it.
