Just to clarify... this is a report on the US Bill recently passed?

I think this is on Ontario's attempts to ban at least broadcasting poker tournaments sponsorsed by online sites. Also, they're looking to ban online gambling because it's hurting their lottery/slots business.

Oh me freaking lord, a FAIR AND BALANCED NEWS REPORT ON ONLINE GAMING!!!! That was incredible! The best thing to do, it seems, would be to get in touch with the Justice Minitry and the federal govt. They are the only ones who can legislate any bills that could threaten online gaming in Canada.

Heh... it was like two minutes.

-Provincial gov't considering ban on advertising "illegal" online gaming sites.
-Interview someone who talks about how industry has exploded
-Interview someone who says its addictive
-Interview someone who says it will have no teeth
-Interview young guy who says its a good hobby, many ppl do it without a problem, and the govt would do best regulating and taxing it.

I guess I feel better after seeing it than before.

Equal, I concur. My plan of action is to make as big a stink as possible to anyone at all that is involved.
