So far I think that things are looking pretty good for us all.

Yes I agree it is unlikely that the laws in Canada will change, especially considering the issues revolving aroound Native Indians in Canada, but who knows. They could rule it out for the rest of Canada except for Indian reserves.

Quite frankly, I'm surprised the US has gone to the measures that it has.

I'm not surprised. I think the US goes extreme on many measures, but that is a whole other forum.

I live on the east coast, and it's... quaint. Seriously, it's boring as hell. If you're looking for some good card rooms to play live at than a western province is your best bet. HOWEVER, you should be aware that the cost of living increases significantly the further west you go. So here's the general rule of thumb:

West:
Fun +ev
Cost -ev

East:
Fun -ev
Cost +ev

If enough US pressure is placed, i believe Canada will fold, and adjust its law accordinly..

Actually I believe Toronto (East side) is the most expensive area in Canada, and a great place to live. There is also Casino Niagara and Casino Rama close by, as well as many Charity and underground games.

Nope. The highest cost of living in Canada is Toronto, followed by Vancover and Montreal, while Calgary and Ottawa are among the lowest.

Search the recent thread in this forum about "Canadian legislation", and you'll see we have fairly good reason to believe that Canada won't be attacking this issue in the same way the US gov't chose to. Personally, I believe that if they were going to take a step in the same direction, that they would have announced their intentions to do so already.

I live in the Vancouver area of British Columbia so that's all I can really recommend. It's a wonderful city with all kinds of stuff to do, great and readily available chronic, and several casinos as well. You should definitely look deeper into things before moving though - I think you will still have to pay taxes as an American even if you're living here. There have been several similar threads posted in this forum and the Internet Gambling forum over the past few monthes - just use the search function to search key words in those forums and you should have no problem locating them.

Good luck!

Thanks for your help

Does anybody think Canada will make online gambling illegal in some providences, and not in others(like the US).

What Canada providence is the MOST LIKELY to never outlaw online gambling?

This is a big decision for me, and thank everybody for the input.

It would definitely be a federal decision if it ever did happen. I wouldn't worry much about it if I were you - if anything it may get regulated or something in the future. But I'm almost certain Canada wouldn't take such a strong stand against it and do something ridiculous like "ban" it.
