Why we need to stop gambling ads in Canada: Bruce Kidd and Dr. Steve Joordens

In the wake of the NBA gambling scandal, and with Canadians watching televised sports more often, now is the time to curtail the ads that normalize gambling - especially for children. Bruce Kidd and Dr. Steve Joordens from the University of Toronto return to the podcast to reiterate their warnings about the harms inherent in advertising gambling. Bruce is a Canadian Olympian and a recipient of the Lou Marsh award as Canada's top athlete. Steve is a psychologist and professor who has written about the "weaponization of psychology" in encouraging addictive gambling behaviour.
