- I find your figures highly exaggerated. Less than 20% from outside the
- metropolitan region? Hardly. If these mysterious marketing studies you
- quote are true, then the casino will close down within a year. Please
- tell us your source. Ontario and New York State alone will account for
- 20% in my opinion.

- Quebecers spend $3 billion/year in Atlantic City & Nevada? Again, I ask
- you who for the source of your information. Even the $6 billion/year in
- Florida sounds inflated, though I'm well aware of Quebecers' fondness
- for that particular state. Still, the amounts you cite seem
- astronomical.
