Sweet. Now I don't have to drive an hour up to Rama to lose my money.

Someone explain to me where the city is going to find 750million bucks.

Oh right. More public debt, which will actually be bigger due to interest.

They'll probably make it back though, it takes money to make money.

Montreal's is still doing well, why not? It will be busy as hell the first year, then tapoer off as interest (and spending money) disappears.

Casino's are bad. Gambling is bad.

I enjoy both very much, but do not wish for either to be in my backyard. I've read many reports that all point to casinos RUINING local communities (I fishing through some magazines looking for sources now).

Sure they make lots of money....but at what cost.

If I had a choice, I would categorically vote against a casino in Toronto.

of course they wont use this as a vehicle for waterfront development will they? Cant make noise for the islanders! Lets just build another wall of condos down there!

This plan stinks. The idea is great but Woodbine is the WRONG location.

yeah ...PLUS

I don't think the casino would really do the city as much good as they think. The province takes 90% of the profits....the rest is left for the city. Hardly enough. If they want this to bring in profit they would have to try and convince the province to let Toronto keep more money, but of course this could never happen (what about all the other cities).

It may not directly, but think of the spin off in tourism? Then again, this council seems to forget what fun is all about. Look at their stand on nightclubs!

Casino @ Rexdale?

That community has been through enough already. Seriously


Maybe Miller shouldn't have given the go to hire so many cops, built so many police stations and lots and lots of cameras around the city.... TTC is also run by gangsters and is always asking the city for more money while increasing fares. Of course, there is also the issue of money management... City Tv is doing an investigation in their 6 clock news special as to why we are facing a budget problem... should be interesting

That is true. Being from Windsor I can see the impact that a casino can make. Even Casino Windsor has been impacted by the dollar and no smoking law.

Toronto is not a border city, plus the no smoking rule has killed the business in the casinos, and now that the Canadian dollar is strong people won't really go out of their way to go gamble in Canada.
