    Hi

    I have a couple of questions about Online Gambling in Canada.

    1. Whats the market like, is it worth while starting a website aimed at canada residents( a .ca domain hosted in canada)

    2. The current laws for online gambling – is it banned or looking like it might be in the near future(next few years)

    Its just ive been offered a nice .ca domain and am very tempted to develop
    Thanks

    If the law takes hold and is enforceable in the US then I would have to guess that Canada will follow with a similar law.

    At this time there is no talk of banning online gambling in Canada. We hope that our politicians are not as narrow minded as the likes of George Bush (ak Jackass #1) and Bill Frist(ak Jackass #2). There is no need for Canada to alienate our country as has George Bush and his Religious Right Extremists.

    What I feel is that the Americans have to recapture thier individual rights and to do that you have to stand upfor your rights and let the powers in Washington know this. Individual freedoms of the common people in the United States do not matter to the likes of George Bush and his thugs. They have one agenda and that is to line their pockets full of money by whatever means possible.

    I don’t see the big companies like Haliburton losing money in Iraq but I do see the needless deaths of young American soldiers. This was never a war about Weapons of Mass Destruction, it is about Oil and Bush lining his friends in Big Business pockets.

    Same lies and Bullshit with online gambling and ak Jackass #2 Bill Frist and his pandering with land based casinos. That :Pisser: Jackass is about as religious as what Adolf Hitler thought he was.

    Not all is rosey in Canada these days either. They recently elected a government which is taking them to the “right” wing and the effects are just now starting to show up in news like we see below:

    It’s a pity too as Canada WAS generally more progressive and enlightened then us Yanks, but our poison has apparently started to spread north.

    Well it really is One World Order anyway right? :crazy:

    Yes because Canada follows everything the US does.

    Just to let people now that we are different than the Americans. First of all we didn’t get into Iraq as our Prime Minister at the time didn’t get in bed with
    Bush as did Tony Blair from Great Britain.

    With our present government to inform those that maybe don’t know Mr Harper has a minority government. He has already has been watching as to how he is handling himself and his party or they may face a non confidence motion which could force an federal election.

    We do not have near the crime of what the United States has either. In the City of Los Angeles and the County of Los Angeles there is more crime in a year than there is in all of Canada.

    We also have a national health care system, government pensions and a lot more from our government than what the Americans have from their Federal Government. We also do not have a National Debt per person of $29,000 USD, we have a National Debt of approximately $15,000 USD per person.

    And speaking I have met a lot of Americans that I have known more about their country than what they do. :banger:

    Funny, i’ve come to Canada from the US and know more about Canada than most of the canadians i know from this industry. :) Fortunately, my lawyers, accounts, stockbrokers, etc. seem to know more than me.

    Canada, even 1 mile from detroit, is different from the US. I can tell you there is a great deal of disdain toward the US legal system by the Canadian lawyers i’ve met. People here think americans are gun crazy and some are afraid to cross the border into detroit. It’s a place where prosecutors are difficult to recruit, because it’s not a political office and prison sentences aren’t calculated by decade.

    After 3 years here, i’m happy that i get to stay, but i already think the taxes are too high and the bureaucrats too eager to obstruct. I’m told that this means that i’m Canadian. I’ve been told it’s because I’m an American. So that settles it.

    BTW – I don’t solicit customers in Canada upon advice of my lawyer. I do play poker online, because any gambling wins are tax free in Canada! :cheers:

    Did you know that all of Canada’s population is about the size of California? Last time I watched “To serve and protect” (Canuck version of “COPS”) they let most criminals off with a warning. No wonder crime is down.

    Did you know that there are 2 taxes on goods in Canada PST & GST? And that their income taxes are considerably higher than the U.S.?

    Did you know if you have a “non emergency” medical problem like a hernia you could wait up to 2 years to have surgery?
    I couldn’t even get a simple X-Ray on my ankle that I knew was fractured. Had to go to the states.

    Did you know that last time I crossed the border into Canada they didn’t even ask for ANY identification whatsoever? WTF???

    Oh yeah, did I mention the price of booze???

    Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a big fan of the downfall of western U.S. civilization but I lived in Canada for years and it’s not a big party over there either.

    Regarding Canada having PST and GST, I live in Alberta which by the way has one of the best economies in NOrth America and no PST. We have higher taxes to pay in Canada which give us back benefits in return and that is definitely one thing you do not get in the United States.

    I remember back in the late sixties a lot of Draft Dodgers from the Viet Nam War coming to Canada and have chosen never to go back. For the amount that the American Government has gotten the people of the United States in debt you thinlk you would have gotten someting in return. What have you got back 0, A LEGACY OF INDEBT PER PERSON OF $29,000 USD.

    I hope people heard the news today about the threat of your President Bush and his popularity with his being a threat to the World Peace. Check the following link.

    By the way as a Canadian we are going to be forced to have to have a passport effective in the next year or so to come to the States. That is definitely a Crock, you Americans better learn that you need to have a right in what your politicians do, as they seem to me that they do whatever they want at the expense of the ordinary citizen.

    One thing that your politicians have done AK Jackass George Bush is that they are alienating the United States from the rest of the World. Hatred for Americans is at an all time high in the Arab World especially in Iraq where seven in ten Iraqis want the Americans gone.

    If you wonder why the States is targeted for terrorism, it isn’t hard to figure out.

    One thing as Canadians we are the number 5 country ranked in the World for most liveable, check where the United States is.

    Actually 15k is high for country with 32 million vs. 29k for a country with 300 million. The Canadian unemployment rate is pretty high too at about 7.6%.

    I’m sure those that bad mouth America wern’t doing so when they had all those American players forking over their hard earned cash.

    Oh sorry the way you were ranting I thought you were a French Canadian in Quebec. My apologies. Glad the price of oil went over $70 a barrel so you could squeeze the juice out of Alberta sand for a profit. (Oh wait, I think we own that company too).

    By the way as a Canadian we are going to be forced to have to have a passport effective in the next year or so to come to the States.

    You don’t want to come here anyways. It sucks remember?

    We hope that our politicians are not as narrow minded as the likes of George Bush (ak Jackass #1)

    How dare you!!! We in the U.S. know the #1 Jackass is Johnny Knoxville.

    I’m sorry, I really love you yanks. My comments here are totally unacceptable because I make a great living off U.S. gamblers (props to slotplayer :laugh: ) and not to mention I’ve had too many “I Am Canadian Molsens”

    I Am Canadian Molsen beer. Actually a U.S. run company and yes it still tastes like :Pisser: (but with more alcohol :woo-hoo:)

    Oh yeah Canada population approx 33 million. Canada land mass 3,612,187 sq miles United States 3,539,224 sq miles. I love Canada but like with any country there are drawbacks. The taxes up here are nuts! Canadians pay tax on tax.

    But the real gem of Canada is our natural resources. Canada hasn’t even begun exploring its’ natural resources. If we started expoiting our natural resources I don’t think any canadian would have too work.

    Our military slowly getting better. I think we have two tanks now, but I think the U.S would come to our aid if needed. In fact during my studies the U.S provides this quarantee in their constitution. I quess when the Canadians burnt down the White House the U.S felt compelled to give us some concessions. Yes their was a time the U.S was affraid of Canada.

    There is a bit a bitterness torwards the U.S since Bush took over.

    As for Guns I have never felt one.

    I am glad to see the response back to some of the comments that I made. I don’t dislike Americans, my ancestory goes quite a way back in the United States where my forefathers came from. Both my Grand Parents were from the United States and came to western Canada in 1910 to homestead as farmers.

    My problem is the Bush Administration and the total lack of concern for the average citizen of the United States. I use to believe in George Bush myself until the last year when I started reading more and finding out the truths about him and his administration.

    He may be a puppet on a string when it comes to what he is doing. I realize that Iraq was never about weapons of destruction but about oil. Kind of coincidental that Haliburton got the 7 billion dollar contract to rebuild the oil fields of Iraq. We all know who the former CEO of Haliburton is, could it be Dick Chaney.

    All I hope for in the United States is that the average citizen can get back control of their country. You need to regain your freedoms that the government is taking away from you a little more every day.

    I hope that the message will be sent to the Republicans on November 7, 2006 and that is that they will lose control in both houses. What I think is that in the United States that you need to create another political party besides the Republicans and Democrats. By doing this not one party may never have total control.

    Its crazy that we have four in Canada but with a minority government in power now it makes them to be held accountable or they will more than likely
    face a non confidence motion.

    Best of luck on November 7 with your Congressional and Senatorial elections.:popcorn:
