Same with the lottery as well. Surprising that canada doesnt take their cut. Im not sure how you could "gamble" professionally for a living though. Doesnt seem to really work unless your the one running the con, and in that case sure. Proably something along those lines.

Under Canada's Income Tax Act, money earned from a lottery is considered a financial windfall or, to put it another way, an unexpected surplus of cash. And since financial windfalls aren't subject to income tax, you're not required to report lottery winnings on your tax return.

That being said. Fucking canadas laws are some of the dumbest shit Ive ever seen and I have no desire to learn it and since I will never be a citizen, I have no reason to. Corrupt broken ass system that does nothing but protect the crown.

All the laws are basically open to interpretation by whoever, which is how they can do whatever the fuck they want.

This shit here was a real eye opener for me.

The Halifax-based group says the vague wording of existing exemptions allows for wide interpretation that can lead to basic information remaining secret. It says a redraft is long overdue.

In its brief, released last week, the centre says many exemptions used by government officials to refuse access to public documents don't have clear tests that force the province to show what damage would occur if the information were released.

"Access should be denied only if disclosing the information would pose a real risk of harm," to interests such as national security, privacy and public order, the submission says.

Truth and justice in chinada are a joke.
