I spoke to a tax lawyer who is a partner at the biggest firm in montreal. She grew up with my parents and has been friends with them for years. Not 100% guaranteed, but id be incredibly surprised if she was wrong. Shes brilliant and knows her [censored] about taxes.

t-god i have talked with two tax dudes who have said the same thing as what ahnuld said.

ahnuld, do you know how exactly taxes work if youre not a full time student in canada? because i am now, but wont be next year and poker will be my only income... ive talked with a tax guy who said the gambling laws are so vague that i shouldnt pay any taxes next year either... this sounds very suspicious to me so im wonderin if any other canadians have heard stuff to the contrary...
