Daniel Negreanu 'tweeted' today that he'll be moving back to canada after the wsop so we can expect to see him playing regularly online at pokerstars.
I've seen a fair number of players online now playing in 'Canada' who were formerly 'US' but nowhere near as many as I thought there'd be (also thought perhaps there'd be more once the WSOP was finished... now with the FTP thing goin' on... maybe not quite as many but am sure it'll increase a bit). Actually had a couple of MTT regs. who were considering moving here to my place (really cheap town to live in where I'm at, houses rent for ~$600, 1bdrm. apts. $375)Surprised there hasn't already been a run on the canadian border by poker players with laptops, seeking asylum and citizenship.
Guess they decided mexico was a better option.
That's the place where drug gangs rule and all those people keep being murdered on a daily basis, right?Guess they decided mexico was a better option.

I have a couple of friends who, once the WSOP is done, they will be moving to Canada. They are from the Boston area and every year for the past 2 years they move to Vegas in March then move back to Boston in August. This year when they move out of Vegas, it will be north of the border.
If you check the official WSOP Entrants Lists, Daniel Negreanu moved from Las Vegas to Toronto sometime between Event #40 on June 23rd and Event #42 on June 24th.

Interior of B.C.Where is that? Feel free to PM me with the information. I could use some cheaper housing costs.
Poker account or bank account?I tried to play when I was in Canada and the site still knew my account was US, so I couldn't play.
If you have money to pay rent, it's just as easy for you to rent a place here in Canada as it is for Daniel. I read alot of posts in poker forums (lately.. since BF) & am kinda surprised by some of the stuff I read. To open a bank account > show proof of address & ID. To rent a place, 'show me the money' (I'm a landlord/property mgr. in Canada, renting out apt. buildings... trust me its easy to rent a place).US players would have to move there, which isn't so easy. You can't just play from Canadian IP, you need residency. Daniel is Canadian so he can easily rent or buy a place.

me thinks it must be cheaper in B.C. ($10 sounds like alot):smokin:Canada rocks man, cheap housing, cheap weed @ $10/gram and very low gun crimes not to mention free health care if you don't mind waiting up to 6 hours to see a doc at the local ER for non-life threatening injuries.
