Worst is when you see the low lives at the food bank loading the food into their new BMW or Mercedes, yup, I've seen it.
I get the opportunity to talk to a lot of business leaders and politicians through work, social circles and board of trade events and honestly in the past 5 years, I've been advocating hard for cuts or freezes to a number of social entitlement/handout programs and to divert those resources to trades training, incentives and tax cuts for job creators and businesses and reduce costs for businesses. Personally I feel its better to create more jobs, train people for skilled labour and to reward job creators. I've spoken to a lot of people I've come across and most agree. I understand there will be some that think I'm the devil for thinking or pushing for these things, but thats fine, I do lean more right than left and I at most times think the left is the devil, thats just the way it is, everyone has differing views

I don't think most even notice because that casino is in worst possible location for a casino resort, that most forget about it existing. I'm not old enough to really remember Red Robinson, but personally feel its a shame they didn't keep the name in some way for the new theatre/bar, but then again, its their right to change the name since they own it.
