GCL HIGHLIGHT: To address gambling-related suicide in Manitoba, addiction professionals say medical officials first need to get in the game when it comes to identifying and collecting data on such deaths https://t.co/AdAIacgIn8 (@WinnipegNews @robcsernyik)

Manitoba frequently has one of Canada's highest gambling addiction rates. Yet, in 13 separate years since 2000, the OCME has recorded zero gambling-related suicides. Experts say there are more. Learn more in my @Michener_Journo-supported investigation. https://t.co/x2lsDiGgAK

Delighted to finally publish a feature with The Local, especially one about gambling.
@AlisonMotluk @wencyleung @JohnLorinc @KunalChaudhary_ In 2022, Doug Ford’s Progressive Conservatives launched an online casino market unique to North America, bringing in tens of billions of dollars in wagers. Rob Csernyik examines what Ontarians lose in the deal.

In my first piece for WIRED, I dig into the waning influence of the "Taylor Swift effect" on sports betting.
The singer generated millions in prop bets for the Kansas City Chiefs just by showing up to watch her boyfriend play. Now that she’s busy, gamblers are losing interest.

ICYMI while on holiday.
Data collected by Ricochet found at least 963 gambling-related suicides recorded in Canada since 2000. That's about one every nine days. https://t.co/31ZKLRxcfi

Today is a great day to dive into @robcsernyik’s groundbreaking report on the relationship between gambling and suicide in Canada. Two years in the making, and funded by @Michener_Journo, this is journalism you don’t want to miss.
Dying to win: Canadian provinces are expanding legal gambling despite ‘one death every nine days.’ Michener-funded investigation into gambling-related suicide data shows tracking of deaths lags, while governments ignore risks to chase industry profits. https://t.co/XuPns3EKtm

I've been travelling for nearly two years and have noticed this in multiple countries from people of assorted ages and backgrounds. It is absolutely baffling behaviour and, for the record, a topic I'm desperate to write an essay on.
WSJ front page today: "If security lines, flight delays and long layovers weren’t enough, there’s a new scourge facing holiday travelers: a surprising number of people who think it’s totally OK to have phone conversations on speaker, or watch movies and shows without headphones."
