Despite all the shortcomings of the Liberal party, we've had balanced budgets and greater liberties like gay marriages, legalization of pot, etc. When Harper got elected, one of his first priorities was to revisit the gay marriage bill within his first week!

Re: For You Canadians: Are we next?
Tony Clement, Minister of Health and Cabinet member has already stated that Canada is not interested in pursuing similar legislation. If anything it would want to target problem gamblers.
The Ontario Provincial Liberal government strongly considered taxing all gambling winnings a few years ago, which is the worst thing we have had to fear so far. But when it was pointed out that they already reap the profits of the "charity casinos" they decided not to pursue this.

We usually take a wait and see approach before we do anything the Americans do. They are kind of like our guinea pigs. [/ QUOTE ] As an American territory, like Puerto Rico, isn't Canada covered by the new US law.

Re: For You Canadians: Are we next?

Ignorant statement? I'd feel much more confident with the liberals in power than your PC government the way it is today. I assume by your stealing millions comment that you're refering to the sponsership scandal. Frivilous spending by the liberals perhaps, but outright stealing? now that's an ignorant statement IMO. Despite all the shortcomings of the Liberal party, we've had balanced budgets and greater liberties like gay marriages, legalization of pot, etc. When Harper got elected, one of his first priorities was to revisit the gay marriage bill within his first week! WTF does that have to do with anything? I'd feel much more secure with online poker and status quo with someone from the liberal party running our country than a right winged Bush wannabe like Harper. This will be the end of the thread hijack, I just had to get the last word in because arguing about politics and religion on the internet are for idiots. Thank you. End hijack. [/ QUOTE ] Ok, so you refer to funneling over a billion taxpayer dollars into an actual political parties cofers as "frivilous spending". Are you caked up on cocaine? If that happened in the U.S, there would be hell to pay. In Canada, there was hell to pay everywhere except Toronto where you guys are all indoctrinated by nothing but Socialist/Communist pro-Liberal party media. Keep sniffing that (soon to be legalized) nose candy if you think that we are more free under a Liberal government.
