I pass this on as a sign of the times we are entering. This is of course 
a revenue grab. Licensed sites will likely pay royalties to the 
province. The legislation has not yet been passed.

The Government of Quebec, in Canada, has introduced new legislation that 
requires Internet service providers to block access to unlicensed online 
gambling sites. 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 Société des loteries du Québec shall oversee the accessibility of 
online gambling. It shall draw up a list of unauthorized online gambling 
sites and provide the list to the Régie des alcools, des courses et des 
jeux, which shall send it to Internet service providers by registered mail.“

…and…

“An Internet service provider that receives the list of unauthorized 
online gambling sites in accordance with section 260.35 shall, within 30 
days after receiving the list, block access to those sites.“

If passed, this is - to use a Middle Eastern phrase - "the camel's nose 
under the tent". First gambling then ???  Advocacy?? Of course, any 
gambler will understand Virtual Private Networks (VPN's) and evade the 
blocking.
