   Out of seemingly nowhere a few years ago, the canadian local landscape changed overnight.

   I feel like I am walking around las vegas half the time.

   Virtually every corner store has turned into those english sports betting pubs or whatever they have all over England.

   It's disgusting.

      > those english sports betting pubs

      ... a betting shop, you mean?

      I was passively watching the NFL pregame last weekend, and they straight up had gambling-sponsored segments where they showed live odds for all sorts of events/stats for the day's games. It's become completely pervasive in the span of a couple years. But I live in the US, aka Biff Tannen's Pleasure Palace.

         May you find the flux capacitor to your time machine, my friend.

      Are those just like a room full of a few rows of video gambling terminals and basically nothing else?

      We have those near me (US) now. I don’t even like seeing them. They’re kind of depressing.
