Those are the primary benefits, but does one really need any more? Demand should be enough all by itself. If demand warrants a casino we should build one. I have zero interest in living in a nanny state. Besides, its about time we shed our conservative image and injected more fun/glamour into our city. TIFF and our theatre scene have been a big boost in that direction, this would be another major piece of the puzzle.
The days of Presbyterian Toronto when we couldn't drink on Sundays is long gone and good riddance. Or maybe its rearing its ugly head once again?
