Businessman & civic politician PETER LADNER explains the blatant stupidity of expanding gambling to include a massive casino next to BC Place stadium, where we bring our kids to see the hockey game. A new casino is a gift to organized crime, which uses casinos -- which are weakly monitored, if monitored at all -- to launder drug money and money gained from prostitution. PETER LADNER: "Putting the BC Lottery Corporation in charge of monitoring money laundering is like putting the Hell's Angels in charge of monitoring abusive gang activity."
