Canada should host WSOP and more...eventually!

Hey,

I was thinking since the U.S. plans to increase tax on tournament wins and for the time being the future for poker in the U.S. looks pretty much dead. Why not try and host many poker tourneys as well as the WSOP. If the money is tax free then surely this has to be considered?

Just an idea. First post but been reading the forums for quite a while.

p.s. grammar/spelling probably way off as I had a few too many watching the leafs hockey game.

I seriously doubt that any Canadian city are able to attract as many people to the WSOP as Las Vegas does. What major gambling cities are in Canada?

Having the WSOP main event outside of Vegas is like having the AFL grand final outside of Melbourne, its just not right.

Because the A in AFL stands for Australian and the W in WSOP stands for American?

Yes because most of the poker player are losing players, so if the are taxes 15%, 28% or 96% on poker winning's they don't care, because they donot have wins to declare at the end of the year.

When they become winning player, then, they should move to Canada !
