Despite all that, the border guards decided that I was somehow a threat and that I might be carrying something inside of me and so they forced me into a cavity search, even after I simply said "fine, forget it, we're going back to Canada".

There's no way I'd go to the US for a Maemo Summit in this climate, even though I'm just across the invisible line.

It would be just my luck that you guys would organize a Maemo Summit here in Quebec City (an excellent choice, by the way) right when my job is moving me to Halifax.

Did you add your vote to the Canada poll?
