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.
