I'll sleep safely knowing the porketta police
are on patrol, protecting the public from the evils of
unlicensed Porketta Bingo drinking establishments.
Because Porketta Bingo does not fall into one
of the tidy little formats of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission
of Ontario (AGCO), they simply shut it down.
Then it struck me. I've read this article
before, only it was just before Christmas, and it was about the
Coulson Hotel. Both of these instances involve issuing licences
to hotels for one reason or another.
Add in the Greater City of Sudbury, whom I
believe acted reasonably, and you have one bureaucratic
nightmare over a pound of porketta, or a simple change of
ownership, as in the case of the Coulson Hotel.
This is clearly an example of underworked
bureaucrats trying to justify their large salaries, and indexed
pensions.
They dream up these artificial scenarios to
create endless red tape and cash-for-life jobs, while telling
us its for our own good.
So far, the only good these regulations have
done, were to lay off working people just before Christmas,
deprive minor hockey and other charities of some money, and
cheat a few people of some cheap, harmless fun.
