that said, brian masse was not a good mp and i will not miss him. in 20 years, the only thing he accomplished was a bill that legalized government run gambling, which is a terrible idea and which i'm staunchly opposed to. the government should not be basing healthcare or education revenues on profits from gambling, it creates a conflict of interest. i would support legislation to reverse the gambling legalization, or at least to privatize it and place a sin tax on private revenues, 100% of which go to help victims of the gambling industry recover.

i have only voted a few times since i moved here, and it has been liberal, with the explicit intent of trying to push him out. 

the conservatives have never been competitive in this riding.
