Quebec Introduces Bill To Mandate ISP Website Blocking (michaelgeist.ca)

An anonymous reader writes: The Government of Quebec has introduced new legislation that requires Internet service providers to block access to unlicensed online gambling sites. The provisions are contained in an omnibus bill implementing elements of the government's spring budget, which included a promise to establish website blocking requirements. The bill provides that "an Internet service provider may not give access to an online gambling site whose operation is not authorized under Québec law." The government's lottery commission will establish the list of banned websites.

    The problem for the quebecies is that half of Quebec would secede and join the rest of English speaking Canada.

    They will have a French sign burning party that will last a week. They will ban the speaking of both French and whatever they speak in Quebec (which I have on good authority is a Creole, not true Frogish.)
