Most Logic subscribers oppose legalizing prediction markets in Canada

The Logic subscriber base skews toward Canadian business and policy professionals, making this opposition a signal that prediction market legalization lacks elite institutional support in a major Commonwealth market. For Kalshi and Polymarket, both already blocked from Canadian users, the survey suggests any future lobbying effort would face uphill persuasion among the policy class that would need to champion regulatory change. The absence of a domestic operator or legislative pipeline means this sentiment faces no organized counterweight, freezing both platforms out of a G7 economy with deep sports betting culture. Unless a Canadian exchange or political champion emerges to reframe event contracts as financial innovation rather than gambling expansion, the status quo of outright platform exclusion looks durable. The Reddit user seeking World Cup betting workarounds illustrates latent consumer demand that prohibition simply reroutes rather than eliminates.
