It would appear that the potential deal we talked about earlier this week is done, at least as it pertains to Lotusland Central:
Vancouver city council voted this week to allow for applications to increase the number of slot machines and tables at the city’s two casinos, on the condition they be accompanied by an assessment of their social and economic impacts.
The request to amend the city’s 2011 gambling moratorium was made by the B.C. Lottery Corp., which told council the city’s population has increased 22 per cent in the past decade and that the amendment is a first step to allow BCLC to look at ways of expanding its two existing facilities — the Parq casino in Yaletown and Hastings Racecourse in East Vancouver — rather than building more casinos...
The only question that remains is whether there will once again be organized, sustained pushback from the citizenry as there was last time.

Quoted piece is by Joanne-Lee Young writing in the Vancouver Sun.
The thing that really makes me wonder about motives here is the fact that the changes for the Parq-no-longer-Paragon and Hastings Park are only supposed to be worth a measly few million to the CoV....So, does that mean that this change is a proof-of-principle prelude for the backers of some really big deal lurking out there somewhere?

It demonstrate how organized crime has infiltrated our civic and provincial politcal machines.
Evidently, according to the news, there are billions of dollars of Russian, Chinese and Iranian money to be laundered.
Our politicians have sold their souls to off-shore/in-shore organized crime syndicates to open the doors for money laundering.
Have fun all!
Was there ever any doubt?
better check with rc first
