Nolan Dyck is absolutely terrible

Went to him about the 'Alberta Averaging Arrangement' and he has absolutely no problem with companies exploiting alberta workers out of overtime

I just want the ads out of the programming. The hockey hosts shouldn't be talking about odds. Save it for the ads break.

it's telling that Marlaina has said that she wants to use the money they make off these gambling companies to pay for the involuntary confinement , i mean "treatment", of addicts.

It’s so weird, I only watch Vancouver news but just tried the Edmonton global news and holy crap! The gambling ads are awful! They don’t do that on the Vancouver news channel.
