My thoughts exactly. For me, Toronto has the convenience factor, but it really is a shadow of a city compared to Montreal and it's surrounding 'burbs (despite so many Torontonians believing we sit at the centre of the universe). I'd make a week of it if it were held in Montreal, and I would definitely have to make it out to

Zanth, I know you had wanted to get a really big National going some time ago. If you want to entertain the idea again, shoot me a PM. I'm ready and willing to help.
[EDIT] Incidentally, I'm surprised we haven't had any lurking BC people popping in to cast unofficial votes for Seattle as the next location for the International. Seems it would be the next best thing to local, and there does indeed seem to be a fairly large group out on the west coast.
