Hamilton shouldn't be the one chasing after a casino, the casinos should be chasing after US. That's the way I've always seen it. When you put yourself in a desperate position, you get taken advantage of and the end product is inferior. Thus far OLG seems to be taking a "take it if you want it. If not, go take a walk" approach. This should be a "We really want to see a casino in Hamilton. We think it would make a great fit. How can we make this work for you?". We shouldn't be begging for scraps.
