The Toronto Star released a great article over the weekend which gives a somewhat different perspective of the Kahnawake reserve outside Montreal.

As most people are aware, the Kahnawake reserve is the home to approximately 500 internet gambling websites, but that is really all they know about it.

Well, TorStar reporter Lisa Wright does a nice job of probing a bit beneath the surface and explaining a little more about the tiny reserve that holds all the cards servers.

The article touches all bases, getting some nice sound bites (can you have sound bites in a print article?) from everybody.

For instance, Liberal MP Roy Cullen, who has threatened to bring the online gambling issue to a head in the Canadian House of Commons says, "I think something is going to happen. My preference would be to open it up and regulate it."

Atta-boy, Roy!

The article also mentions how Bodog is moving into Kahnawake, which should bring lots of jobs, but also increased scrutiny.

Either way, I applaud the Toronto Star for being one of the few Canadian papers really following this story, and continuing to cover it with both well-balanced and readable stories as well.
