I was gonna start this thread. Then I got hungry and forgot about it.

Any of you were still using them?

I wasn't.

 

[Mudcat]

They were an indispensible part of my empire for a long time, a two-book triumvirate with Pinnacle.

Been awhile though.

 

[FairWarning]

Canada is part of the USA, it's now confirmed.

 

[reno cool]

Plommer - why would you blame the US for this? Surely Canada doesn't need the US.

 

[betplom]

Don't call me surely.

I used to use and love matchbook

 

[mrquincy]

me No Matchbooke!

 

[Mudcat]

Two-book triumvirate. Get it?

 

[cobra_king]

A large part of my arsenal gone. They were fabulous, especially for Tennis. Pretty positive this is all USA influenced, and more specifically the new banking laws that came into effect July 1 where banks have to report on Americans using Canadian banks. I fear Pinnacle is next.

 

[Tron]

Canada is America's puppet.

This is the proof in the pudding.

 

[Matty]

It's not even a real country.
