Stop Ontario from Cancelling Online Poker (Internationally)

The Issue

Ontario is trying to build a fence around our online poker community. Where we cannot play into the international market. Poker always suffers when the player pool diminishes, for prize pools, cash games, etc. Some people play poker for fun, some play this as extra income, and some play as a full time job. To take away their opportunity to play international will considerably affect peoples ability to find games, and in some cases even making a living. 

We want Poker to stay as is. Keep us in the international market. Having just liquidity in Ontario is going to kill online poker here. 

Around the world, we’ve seen the difficulties that segregated markets face:

India - Italy - Michigan - Pennsylvania

Lets not face a quite online game, Keep Online Poker as is! Do not make this change Ontario Government, please.
