Protectionism Behind Lottery Flap

The silly "scandal" at the Ontario lottery commission has more to it than meets the eye:
The minister in charge of Ontario's scandal-ridden lottery commission has blown a gasket over a "crappy decision" to give away foreign-made Mercedes-Benz cars as casino prizes.

Infrastructure Minister George Smitherman was incredulous that the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp. purchased 22 Mexican- and German-made B200 hatchbacks at a time when the province is trying to bail out General Motors Canada and Chrysler Canada to protect Canadian jobs.

Essentially, isn't this the same thing as Obama saying that they are going to use US steel only for government sponsored infastructure projects, that had us screaming up here?

With Big Government taking over more businesses look for more of this crap.
