—Steve Gupta, CEO of Ontario hotel chain Easton’s Group, both explaining why he supports a downtown mega-casino and demonstrating a depressing lack of enthusiasm for Toronto’s tourism options. That’s just the kind of Toronto-bashing that U of T president David Naylor is tired of hearing—here’s hoping for a rebuttal (or, barring that, another confidence-boosting vid from The Grid’s Edward Keenan).
