Sports betting in Canada is now in the broadcast, embedded in the commentary before the game even starts. Jamie Ellerton takes out a hundred dollars, wins it back, and walks. Lindsay Broadhead will not start at all. Neither of them is who the industry is building for, and that gap is the whole problem.

The Lottery Was Always Gambling
Provinces are running deficits and drunk on the revenue that makes regulation feel like a threat. Men 18 to 34 are accumulating debt in silence, the warning signs are not visible the way they are with other addictions, and the law has not caught up with what is now living inside everyone's phone.

What Accountability Actually Looks Like This Week
Mark Carney's approval numbers are up and Alberta's first promised milestones are already slipping. An Air Canada CEO who does not speak French issued an English-only statement after a Quebec pilot died and got summoned to Ottawa. Neither situation was handled the way it needed to be.
