That's it! The Pointe-au-Père lighthouse, in the area where the Empress of Ireland ocean liner sank, having been hit under the water line by the Norwegian collier, the Storstad. The ship quickly filled with water and sank within 14 minutes. 1012 people lost their lives on the morning of May 29, 1914; there were only 465 survivors.
The area has been converted into a local museum where the ship's tragic history is preserved. More info on the tragedy can be found on-line on Wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empress_of_ireland . Here's the complete shot of the lighthouse.  |

Is this at Casino Rama in Ontario, where the woman just won a jackpot of nearly $9 million?

You people were getting warmer. Now you're getting colder!
Let me help you with another of my slot machine wins taken from a different casino.  Ignore the symbols and the denomination. Look at everything else, and compare it with the original picture. There's a subtle yet significant difference which will help you narrow down the location of the first image. |

THAT'S IT! The WHY is that the French language is listed first! And you're right, it's the Montreal Casino. As for not meeting the language requirements, you're right about that too. But since the Casino is run by the provincial government...
 The other picture is from the Rideau Carleton Raceway in Ottawa. |

I figured it might have something to do the the French... I just don't know where the Casinos are and that big jackpot was in the news.

OK, this may be hard from this specific vantage point.
 The hint is that the rest of the building does not look like this. This section (or facade) has been preserved from a 9th century building. Extra points for the name of the 19th century building as well.

Possible about it being Ontario. The license plate of the green car is definitely white, and using the resolution enhancement in my paint program reveals a hint of red in the plate, indicating red lettering. The street board on the right appears to say "Halloween" on the second line. The rest of the board appears unreadable. So we MIGHT have narrowed it down to Ontario, assuming the Ontario car isn't from outside the arena's province.
Just a thought. What if it was a curling rink and not a hockey rink? Have any curling rinks ever been built to that size? |

John Labatt Centre in London, Ontario.
The building you are seeing is The Talbot Inn
