Canadians find aspects of daily life frustrating, such as high taxes, formalities, and the need to remove shoes indoors. Economic development is also uneven between regions

Oh Canada!

Correct. If you rounded up 1000 people and asked them who John Campbell was, maybe 10 would know.

True, but almost anyone involved in harness racing has heard of him. Think they made him an offer he couldn't refuse.

Would be interesting to know how much the previous President Tom Charter was making.

I can promise you neither G or his friends would help this deer.

If you google his job description it gives alot of details, seems like more administrative stuff than anything, along with travelling to alot of tracks. $220,000 is not an outrageous salary for President of the Hambo Society in my opinion.

$220k is a pretty healthy salary for a figure head.
John Campbell had zero business experience acquiring the job.   If it's administrative, he will have some professional administrator doing 90% of that work.
He's being paid for his name, which is less and less known every day.
