An inclusion in the Ontario budget has been taken to heart by the publisher of the Toronto Star.  The budget included a promise to license private operators to participate in a regulated online gaming market. Torstar’s chair and co-owner Paul Rivett, says a start date for the online casino is pending approval from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario and the setting of a launch date by the Ontario government.  He adds, the made-in-Ontario product will keep dollars in the province while the revenue can support the growth of its journalism. Torstar is publisher of the Toronto Star as well as other daily newspapers in Ontario, including the Hamilton Spectator, and more than 70 weekly community newspapers.<
