lol- I had that happen once a few years back - Really funny  American agent.   
(“Look into the retinal scanner.  No, ugly guys stand further back”).
 I told him if he kept this up he was sure to get himself fired at some point.  
Usually they’re  somewhere between curt and surly.

Last I was in Canada in August everyone was as friendly as ever but the 
immigration guy, who in a weird change was as grumpy as the American guy 
usually is and the American guy was friendly for once. I have never been to 
Toronto, but it sounds fun. We would probably make a long weekend out of it.

I expect their policy is solely around the hassles and cost imposed.  They 
probably ought to explain their rationale better.

I expect also  that like any respectful visitor (now or before) you’d be 
welcomed and treated well when you visit, by Genco and others.    Tons of great 
restaurants to enjoy in Toronto, and the dollar remains favourable for you.

Subject: Stus-List GENCO question



GENCO in Toronto made my dodger many years ago. It is getting near end-of-life 
and a few years ago they quoted me a reasonable price to make a new one. I 
called them recently and they said they no longer will deal with American 
customers :(

Does anyone know if they flat out don’t like us (for reasons……..) or just don’t 
want to hassle with shipping and tariffs? It would be a long day in the car, 
but I don’t mind just driving to Toronto to drop the old one off and get the 
new one.
