Unfortunately the problem here at the border isn’t getting Americans over the border, it’s getting back over. Having lived here for 4.5 years, getting across the border is a 15 minute when it’s not busy, but often, many times a day, that delay hits 30 to 60 minutes. Before 9-11, it was always a non event, now, getting thru fast is rare. So, this is why americans are coming to canada less.
Sports betting is a great idea for canada, given that no state besides NV has legal sports betting, there is a big market that’s already betting on sports ‘illegally’.
