This dichotomy is reflected in Toronto’s two most popular newspapers. The Sun firmly supports a casino, while The Star is mainly opposed.
As The Star put it, “What’s easier than free money — up to $150 million a year — and 10,000 permanent jobs, all served up to Toronto merely for saying ‘yes’ to a gambling mega-complex? But that projected windfall is surely pegged too high; jobs will be killed by a casino as well as created, and this city’s thriving downtown could very well be harmed.”
