McGuinty's name beckons online gamblers
When Dalton McGuinty's Liberals abandoned the ChooseChange.ca web address they used in the 2003 provincial election, I doubt they expected it would be used to advertise online gambling. But some enterprising cyber-squatter has bought the address and has it redirecting to advertising for gaming sites.
So, if you type in the address that once proudly displayed the biography of Premier McGuinty (http://www.choosechange.ca/en/mcguinty), you find yourself staring at "online-web-casino.net."
One would have thought that a party that charges $10,000 per person to attend its fund raising dinners would have enough money to keep control of its internet property.
Having said that, there is a certain poetic justice to ChooseChange's new incarnation. After all, the people of Ontario took a gamble, voted for Dalton McGuinty and lost their shirts as a result of his massive tax increase.

Oh goodness heck!! I went to the site and was wondering... WHAT ON EARTH!
But Max, you said it all. The folks gambled and lost all.
