Harper and the Supreme Court
There is a thoughtful and balanced online piece today by Adam Radwanski on how the composition of the Supreme Court could be affected by a Harper majority.

Adam Radwanski's Column
In today's Globe, Adam Radwanski offers an interesting perspective on the decision of the McGuinty government to get into online gambling.
I will reproduce a small part of it where he discusses an aspect of it that did not occur to me. The italics are mine:
Assuming Ontario can avoid a fiasco like the one in British Columbia, where the new online casino had to go offline because of privacy breaches, it will lend legitimacy to an industry that until now has been murky. That will lead Ontarians who’ve shied away from online gambling to give it a shot. If some wind up hooked, and take their business elsewhere after getting booted from OLG's site, the government will have inadvertently lured vulnerable people to what it refers to as “the grey market.”
