City Council is also busy trying to talk sorounding small towns into adopting the same laws, but they have all seen whay happened in Ottawa.

You mean the City Council banned smoking at Bingo games, even though the surrounding towns didn't???
What were they planning to do? Build guard stations so no one could leave town on Bingo nights?
I'll bet those small towns have seen a nice increase in Bingo revenues. They're not going to change.

Yes, thats excactly what I mean, the City has already bailed the bingo halls out to the tune of a million and a half, leaks has it they are still giving the halls money, just to keep them quiet.

And for the first time, bingo halls in the outlying areas are advertising on TV.
