The incorrect and intellectually insufficient narrative is:
The goal, she said, is to ensure the safety of visitors to the province.
That's not the primary goal, or I would say even the secondary goal. The primary goal is obviously taxes, and the secondary goal is satisfying lobbying pressure from those that don't like the competition.
But let's not pretend that there are no problems with it, and that there are no legitimate reasons to object to it.
Let's not pretend that these regulators are actually honest in their arguments.
