Quebec Government May Force ISPs To Block Gambling Websites

Posted by Soulskill on from the good-luck-on-your-saving-throw dept.

New submitter ottawan- writes: In order to drive more customers to their own online gambling website, the Quebec government and Loto-Quebec (the provincial organization in charge of gaming and lotteries) are thinking about forcing the province's ISPs to block all other online gambling websites. The list of websites to be blocked will be maintained by Loto-Quebec, and the government believes that the blocking will increase government revenue by up to $27 million (CAD) per year.

    Fuck you, Loto-Québec.

    As they're from Quebec, this won't work. You need to name some church utensils or furniture instead.

    A lot of the world's online gambling industry happens to be located in the province. (Porn too but that's a different story).

    So that's where all the ultra hairy women sites are!
