Good on Cardus and @renzenauta for confronting this public policy failure.
We have allowed gambling advertisers to incubate an entire generation of addicts using massively popular sports broadcasts.
One study found that Ontarians watching live sports were exposed to 2.8 references to sports betting every minute.
Testifying on Bill S-211 before a House of Commons committee, Cardus’s @renzenauta drew attention to this startling fact and the dangers the proliferation of sports betting ads poses for fans, especially young people. When Parliament legalized single-event sports betting, the goal was to bring an activity already happening on the black market into a legal market where it could be regulated and taxed. The flood of advertising since then works against that goal.
“The whole purpose of advertising is to increase demand,” he said.

1. Give up a pile of crap goals.
2. Scramble to score six to win.
3. Run out of time. Lose.
A tale as old as time in Oil Country.

If you pause it at :02, you can see these exact point in time the spirit of Mac Jones overtakes him.

He's done it.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr., in the 150th game of the season, has his 1st home run at Rogers Centre. He watched every second of it before he took a step. #BlueJays

This audio is still absolutely bone-chilling.
No matter how many videos of the impact I see - and there are always new ones amazingly - this one still makes my blood run cold.
Pure horror.
Jesus had compassion on the people because they were “confused and hopeless,” and “like sheep without a shepherd.”
Not like patients without a doctor.
Yes, Jesus healed the sick, but his ministry, death, and resurrection point to our spiritual sickness and our need for eternal redemption - and not merely physical care.
.@JamesTalarico: If you go back and read the New Testament — even if you're not a Christian — go back and see what Jesus spends most of his time doing.
It's not preaching, it's not teaching. It's healing.
That is what we are called to do — whether you're religious or not — is ensure that our neighbors have the healthcare that they need, and that is gonna be the end result of this plan and the other health care policies that we're gonna fight for in Washington.
