Canadian edition of Poker Pro to be launched

Poker Pro Media is launching Poker Pro Canada, a Canadian edition of its magazine Poker Pro, which has a North American circulation of 150,000 a month.  The spinoff will feature in-depth profiles of Canadian players, updates and news from the growing Canadian poker scene and strategy and tips from the pros. According to a posting in Poker News Daily, the executive editor will be Poker Pro editor-in-chief John “JohnnyQuads” Wenzel who said:

“Some say this is a time of contraction for print media, but we’re bullish on the Canadian market.  The game is exploding in Canada and we intend to provide enthusiasts with a slick, upscale magazine that will be fun to read and will also improve their bottom line at the tables.... The Canadian poker scene is fascinating, but it doesn’t get a lot of publicity. We’re going to change that.”
