Well, COLD CLEAR LOGIC says that if dntn Toronto doesnt want the casino, Scarboro Town Centre should grab it and leverage it to build the Sheppard subway:
IT IS A GREAT IDEA

Waterfront Toronto versus Scarborough: Transit and Casinos
Seriously?
Although, the linked pundit does use one of my favourite phrases, "In actuality", which almost always seems to flag a whacked-out fringe opinion being presented as fact without any corroboration. In this case, it flags the assertion that a downtown casino would 'likely inhibit gambling addiction.' This is based on the fact that the many casinos in Vegas grew revenue by adding non-gambling entertainment options. But, but, but... what if there was $0 gambling revenue to start? Wouldn't a new casino then add to the gambling revenue? Isn't that sort of the reason OLG wants to build a casino? I'm just sayin'...
Anyhoo, if Scarberians and STC want a casino, have at it.
