> The big selling point is going to be the difference of buying a plane ticket to Canada vs buying one to the US + having to deal with the hassles of US immigration and customs.

Exactly. I for one voted for Canada for exactly that reason.

>There's little invective

That is a wonderful Freudian slip!

Worked previously for a company owning many trade shows/events and we purposefully moved the shows to various destination cities to encourage the tourism aspect, a new city every year was tough so we repeated cities eventually. We never ventured into moving an existing US based show out of country, when we did international shows they were always stood up as separate. But considering the political climate today, it really isn't a surprise to move one north of the boarder.
