Chance and Power
I was reading the Financial Post's Canada's Top 500 Largest Corporations in the FP Business that came with the National Post this morning. In the listing of the Top 500, I noticed that the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp came in at # 68 and that Ontario Power Generation came in at # 73. Does it say something about Ontario's Citizens that gambling surpasses power generation? OPG has 3 Nuclear Power Stations, 5 Fossil Fuel Power Stations and 64 Hydro installations. Like, this is a really BIG company! But the Province run lotteries and casinos out perform OPG in revenue! Surely a sign of decadence.

Very interesting perspective and insight! Both organizations are owned by the Government. Yet one of these organizations face no competition! Yet the firm that makes the most is where people have choice. The marketers have done a good job selling greed.
Pretty scary stuff.........
We all (should) know what happens when people get greedy, they tend to loose everything.
