I agree with Nick. The only time I've been hassled (and I have, worse than when I went to Romania), was when I happened to reply that yes, I was being paid to speak. Canada seems to be ultra-sensitive to American carpet-bagging. Not that I can blame them, but frankly I think Canada has sent more talent our way than otherwise. Do I really need to name them all? You people just need to stop being so cool. Okay?
