CanadianConservative The place for Canadian conservatives on Reddit. Conservatives, libertarians, right-wing populists, right-leaning moderates, and those who just want to ask questions and have discussions without being down-voted in certain other Canadian subreddits are welcome. Our goal is to have a place to have civil higher-quality discussions from a conservative point of view without the interruptions of a leftist centric platform of reddit.

Both the launch of the government-operated PlayOLG platform in 2015 and the introduction of a competitive private online gambling market in 2022 were followed by large increases in contacts [to ConnexOntario]. These findings suggest large increases in problematic gambling, changes in help-seeking for gambling, or both.

We compared changes in gambling-related contacts to total contact volume for mental health and addictions. We used total contact volume to control for changes in population-level mental health or awareness of ConnexOntario.

As DrNateH on reddit said, Ford's "agenda is to ultimately turn Ontario into Las Vegas."

I fucking loath these fucking nonstop gambling ads, fuck Ford for this, amongst many other things.

That’s something to agree on regardless of political leaning.
