Standardbred Canada – A Call For Action In British Columbia

Government is not a solution to our problem, government is the problem. … Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them. Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. If it stops moving, subsidize it. … The problem is not that people are taxed too little, the problem is that government spends too much.

Ronald Reagan

Phil has a question:

With most of the British Columbia population residing in urban areas what are the chances of the BC government maintaining the subsidies for the standardbreds.

[The lesson is that] Great Canadian doesn’t want live racing at Fraser Downs, and they don’t want live racing at Flamboro and Georgian Downs.
