Liars have to stick together, Bruyea. Schild lies a whole lot about a
myriad of issues. And now YOU are a liar in kinship with him.
The NDP did NOT bring casinos into British Columbia. The BC 'Liberals' did.
And as far as Bob Rae allowing them into Ontario - well, he was never a
true New Democrat, was he? Remind us all of which party he's with.

The B.C. Liberal opposition expressed horror about the planned expansion
that would see new Vegas-style casinos and the installation of thousands
of electronic gambling machines.
But it is the Liberal government that has taken the gambling industry to
near-saturation levels. Expansion may soon taper off, only because there
is little room in the market for more.
This year, the BCLC will harvest an estimated $2.7-billion from British
Columbians who hope to beat the odds and hit the jackpot. That means a
record $1.12-billion in gambling profits set to flow to the B.C.
government this year, roughly a 5-per-cent increase over last year.
Like the NDP, the Liberal government has faced opposition throughout its
12 years of gambling expansion – from the public, from local
governments and sometimes from its own benches.
