I'm not at all worried

Hell this bill is like a blessing in disguise for me anyhow...I needed a few months off to clean my house and lose a few pounds anyway...Bottom line, they cannot stop us from playing for more than a few months or so. I mean, there are still child porn sites out there that people are making $$$ from as I read in an article this week, and people are still stealing movies and music from the net. Its simply going to be ok as the gov'ment isn't as smart as the capital hungry guys out there that will meet this poker demand.

U never know, perhaps this is an opportunity for some of us to open our own poker rooms if we can figure out some loopholes ourselves.

Now is a good time to take a break from the game. These events really challenge us and make us question our love and loyalty to this game but there is no way that poker comes to an end.

Good points and as many have stated we're just going to have to wait and see how this plays out. Man I sure don't want to head back to the B&M scene but I can if need be.

I already have my plan set up. If the ban sticks, I'll be living in Canada by the time the 270 day grace period expires. Seriously, I'm tired of the government overstepping all boundries in its zeal to decide what's best for me.

Are you kidding me? Although Canada may allow online poker, you think that they have less regulation than the US? They have MORE regulation, and you'll might as well kiss off most of your income there while you're at it. Canada will decide many more things that are "best" for you.

Erm, what? If the man can't earn any legal income in the United States, then obviously his life will be immeasurably better if he can re-locate to a country where he can earn a legal income.

What the hell are you talking about? And you only kiss your income goodbye if you pay income tax...in Canada you don't get taxed on your gambling winnings.

What exactly is this "more" regulation and how does it make people's lives in Canada worse?

Huh?

Also: Does anyone know how to become a Canadian citizen? I checked NHL.com (Thought that would be the best place) and could not find anything.
