Why is the Canadian Poker Championship in the Bahamas?

So I was checkin out events on PartyPoker.com and I come across this link for the Canadian Poker Championship for the WPT in Jan/Feb of 2006. I was like "wow sweet, an event in Canada!" Well not exactly, because its in Nassau, Bahamas at the Atlantis resort. Now I have been there and it will be an amazing event to say the least but I just don't understand the title. If anyone can explain it to be please do.

1st Place this time!

Ryerson Poker Society held its first big poker tournament this weekend. 200 players showed up for the $1500 freeroll sponsored by Scorepoker.

It was a great tournament even though it was once again a bit fast for my taste. We started with 1000 in chips, blinds at 25/50 and increasing every 11 mins.
First was the table game, top 2 move on, done and done.
Then the 22 players or so left played with 100 in chips and a new blind structure of 1/2 doubling every 12 mins.
Yes it sounds weird but whatever I guess.

Final table 7 people, I bust out every one of them. Got a lucky river to give me the flush and the other guy the straight. And after that the cards never let me down.
Heads up lasted only two hands. This is how it went down:
I am big blind, he is sort of short stacked, he says all in, i look down at 8-3, I fold, he slips over 6 2, he says I am just planting a seed. *right...*
Next hand I have ace 7, i say all in, he stares then says call, thinking I am doing the same thing, he flips over queen 6.
Ace on the flop and the river, trips I win.
Lots of fun and can't wait for the next tournament....anywhere.

Which is the real cover?

Now I would have prefered my version of the cover, but I guess the other one will do.
Pick this issue up off newstands it has the story which I wrote about my experiences in the Degree Poker Tournament.
Its an interesting story and you got a bit of it from the Ryerson paper, but this is the full version.
Thx again to Canadian Poker Player Magazine for hooking this up.
