Today, gamblers have more options than ever. The AGLC’s paradoxical mandate is to ‘maintain the integrity of gaming activities while maximizing the financial return (to Albertans)” - akin to a person committing to a healthy diet but also to eating as much as possible.  Our government is addicted. But as long as citizens keep electing leaders that are happy to fund society on the backs of gamblers, and as long as Albertans like us keep showing up to volunteer, the same might be said for all of us. That we are all addicts. ("Who Wants Albertans to Gamble More?" - Evan Osenton, AlbertaViews.ca).
