Must be some Amaricun in the family bloodlines here. Cute cuddly Canucks don't do this kind of shit -- Official loses big skimming gambling funds Fri Nov 24, 9:06 PM ET A top anti-addiction official in the western Canadian province of Alberta skimmed nearly half a million dollars from his employer to feed his own gambling habit, the province's top auditor said on Friday. Auditor General Fred Dunn alleged in a report that Lloyd Carr, who ran the tobacco-reduction unit of the Alberta Alcohol and Drug Abuse Commission, used five false contracts to scam C$441,298 ($390,000) from the government agency, which funds programs and treatment services for alcohol, drug and gambling addictions. The auditor's report said Carr, who could not be reached for comment, had admitted to misappropriating the funds and using part of the cash to put a downpayment on a house, pay household expenses and repay a vehicle loan. About C$116,000 was said to have been withdrawn from automatic teller machines in casinos. Carr was fired in September. Criminal charges have not been filed, although police have been notified.
