People will crumble and I mean crumble. The people and municipality had no say in what was built; how, or impacts to our own infrastructure, and enviornment. Nor do casinos help nearby property rights. Increased tax revenue to fuel our social democracy is the benefit to justify the carnage. Our economy is suffering as many seniors spend money their limited disposable income at the casino that would otherwise be spent in our community. Perception may be reality. Looking at the empty stores in Cornwall and anecdotal stories from area businesses the local dollars are going somewhere and in a city with such a high level of seniors the casino plays a big factor. Jules…the government benefits from the sale of alcohol and tobacco? I was searching through the history and reality of the gaming industry for something positive to say. Why dont you put the blame where it belongs. It is designed to be an all-absorbing environment that does not release its customers until they have exhausted their money. We are so uniformed and apathetic we reward this behavior by giving them a majority government to sink us even deeper into debt that we will not escape for many generations to come, if in fact ever. No windows, no clocks, the depth of lighting and cocooning feeling lead to comfort while each visit takes chunks of money from them. It is a non profit entity to service the needs of the voters and public at large. Learn how your comment data is processed.

Heck even Mr. However, in the case of the Gananoque Casino, the 40 million of slots revenue given to the two local communities, and the employment spinoffs have been a huge benefit. The burden of financing the debt is the elephant in the room that no politician seems willing to recognize. Time will bear out what happens, but in the meanwhile several stories have hit media about the impact of casinos on their communities and the lack of economic development spin off. Simple micro-economics. Add in the cost to communities in some excess crime as well as caring for those who develop gaming addictions and it looks like having a casino in your back yard is like, well rolling craps. I guarantee it. The Ontario Liberal Government has squandered, mismanaged and outright misdirected public money closure and relocation of gas powered electrical generation plants in greater Toronto region Orange, E-Health, Green Energy Program to name a few to the tune of billions of dollars. It might be time to discuss this before adding another casino to this area. You should know that. I live in Akwesasne and have to agree with Jamie. Now they are moving into bigger cities to compete. While it hires employees to work there monies sucked from the community lead to losses of jobs. Having a casino in Long Sault could bring a whole new load of issues for this region. Once the novelty wore off in the first year of operation, few locals continued to flush their paychecks down the toilet. This casino does nothing for Awesasne but create traffic from visitors from other communities who spend money outside of the casino only on gas and snacks! As far as cassinos are concerned I have never heard about that one at all. Spin off effects? Now we choose to shop else where. People do not benefit from cassinos in fact people lose everything whether it be their homes, their families, their cars, etc. I found nothing. The current casino has very few possible positive spin offs for Cornwall with very few if any dollars coming back to our city. They allow the government to pump more money into health care, education, etc. Then Atlantic City entered the game and it seems now that almost every region in the US and now growing in Canada have added casinos. Prostitution usually follows in with cassinos. The people of Cornwall are mostly on welfare or some sort of social assistance and even those who are lucky enough to work will lose everything including their souls to terrible addictions. Gawd, please smite me if we ever agree about anything! All monies is distributed where they belong. No increase in crime. We are the government Jules. You state that not paying taxes is one of the greatest offense that people can make, I would challenge that and suggest the one of the greatest offenses is the mismanagement of public funds taxes. Cornwall Chuck Charlebois can be seen in front of the machines at the Akwesasne Mohawk Casino regularly. There will not be another casino. Just about all suckers now come in off the Furtz I think the Ontario government purposely put casinos in communities like Gan and where Casino Rama is to limit local impact and draw from populated areas. This is funny Pastor. Thousands of people were hired. Furtz — I was surprised we all most agreed on something. Then Atlantic City persuaded its state legislature to allow casinos, in hope of reviving the prosperity of the battered resort town. Hugger I do know that the government benefits from the sale of alcohol and tobacco for health care and other things. Jules, people do benefit from casinos. Do you have any proof casinos result in crime and high crime? I know that there are a lot of closed gas bars and buildings since the casino has grown? I am not suggesting that debt is not a necessary part of the economy, it quite simply is. The concept of casino experiences are gamed towards seniors. A casino is not like a movie theater or a sports stadium, offering a time-limited amusement. Market decides everything! Collection of taxes and administration are the governments function. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam. Across the street from the casino lies the empty former IGA store showing that the casino really has no direct impact. Hotels sprung up along the seafront. And Market is the true God whether you believe it or not. This is all the government thinks we need — Ontario Problem Gambling Hotline: Where there are cassinos there is crime and high crime and not just small stakes. The Gananoque casino has been going for twelve years now. I thought that this was something just drummed up by Furtz and his flying spaghetti monster. The most disturbing issue with this current possible situation is that the Trillium deal hid behind Crown Lands not having to follow provincial or municipal laws. And the rest of Atlantic City … saw no benefits at all. That was an agreement between the OLG and the municipalities to share a percentage of the slot machine booty. Until the late s, no state except Nevada permitted casino gambling. For example, two studies of the riverboat casinos in Illinois concluded that for every one job created by the riverboats, most of the surrounding communities probably lost one or more jobs from pre-existing businesses Grinols ; Grinols and Omorov Looking at the history and growth of the Akwesasne Mohawk Casino clearly shows that they are harvesting a lot of dollars; dollars that are not being shared with communities and businesses close to them. Change your prejudice. I agree with Furtz and Marc Houde. Does the tax revenue generated from alcohol and tobacco cover the spinoff medical costs and administrative jungle, not likely Jules, not likely at all. As I said, almost all the suckers come in off the Broken families, poverty, corruption, prostitution, the suffering of children, drugs, murder, violence, theft to name but a few of the spinoff effects. The profits from OLG casinos is pumped into government programs. And of course, now that pretty well all the manufacturing jobs are gone, the casino is the biggest employer in the area, with all the spin-offs that come with that. David the sale of cigarettes and alcohol sure do pay for the health care in Canada and the government collects the taxes from even the sale of goods from stores and even people like ourselves who own or rent pay taxes and the taxes go to municipalities, then to the provinces and then to the federal government. The nearby Akwesasene Mohawk Casino for example has had a dramatic impact on nearby Cornwall Ontario. Jules…Casinos are simply another method of removing additional money from the pockets of the taxpayer. This is hilarious. Would this casino be constructed in the same framework? A real Pastafarian would wear a stainless steel colander, not a devil-inspired plastic one. The government is not a business. CFN suggests you post comments using your real name. Jobs are Minimum wage, and the majority of employees are from surrounding communities and NOT Akwesasne. In fact the crime rate has been dropping here just like everywhere else.
