    It looks like the Canadian Government and the Otawa authorites are considering a crack down on online gaming operations hosted by the Kahnawake!

    This would effect over 400 casino, poker and gaming operators.

    I really wish casinos would voluntarily move away from Kahnawake as they operate one of the biggest cocaine smuggling rings in North America. They give the industry a bad image. Being in Canada is also asking for trouble.

    Obviously some programs have seen this coming. I know few big names has been planning to move in other jurisdications. The reason for moving can also be that the Malta is more European friendly.

    Antoine can you expand on this? I never heard this before. I knew the New York families traditionally handled distribution of Coke and Heroin in Ontario and Quebec. Bike groups primarily the Hells Angels and Mongols handled Cyrstal Meth and the Chinese from VC did opium, and pot was a home run affair with most of your really killer sense grown out west. I had never heard the Kahnawake were involved.

    Are they purported to be direct importers or do that handle stock and local distribution?

    Are there any new reports you recall or have links for regarding this as I think additional information on this would be HIGHLY important to operators who do business there.

    i remember hearing/reading (of course i can’t remember source) that the liberal gov. wanted to shut down gaming in Kahnawake 4-5 years back, but RCMP pretty much said they would need all mounties (about 24,000) to pull off a police raid.

    i’m just hoping they don’t start shooting at each other.

    While legislation is possible in Canada, an actual incursion onto native territory is in my view very unlikely.

    The Mohawks regard their land as sovereign and would certainly resist any forcible attempt to take away their right to be a gaming centre.

    There is no stomach in Canada for such a confrontation.

    There was a bust there just today and this made the front page of the canadian version of MSN. A large number of weapons were found including 3 grenade launchers, some drugs, stolen cars, etc
