11-Feb-07. Online gambling still in grey area. Edmonton Journal, A18.
This editorial relates to the announcement that Alexander First Nation will host offshore casino firms who want to set up computer servers and offer online gambling to individuals living outside of Canada. It is noted that the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission has said the operations are illegal and should be stopped. The author poses questions about whether a service that serves gamblers outside the country should be illegal. Also, if the government itself eventually offers online gambling, it might be difficult to justify a decision to close down the centre on the Alexander reserve.
