CANADIAN POKER FEDERATION JOINS IFP
The Canadian Poker Federation (Federation Canadienne du Poker) has become the newest member of the International Federation of Poker, taking the number of official member nations of the IFP up to 41.
The legal status of Canadian poker players remains stable. While the Quebec government has independently legalised online poker, the Canadian government does not issue licenses and players are free to play on foreign based poker sites.
By joining the IFP community the Canadian Poker Federation, chaired by Robert Storey, adds its weight to the shared aims of promoting poker as a skill game, a Mind Sport that can be played by everyone, regardless of background.
