Just a theory, completely unsubstantiated...but that's what it looked like was happening at YOW during the 'trial' phase.
I think you hit the answer, there.
The whole DDR Mexican Dance Party thing is /so/ staggeringly aggravating. I need a cane to walk; by the time I have arrived in YYZ from YVR I am already so worn-out that I need the cane to /stand/. Standing in line at the chicane, and then the extended stand-in-line if I lose to DDR mat-lotto, is so profoundly disincentive to travel through YYZ.
I've certainly cut-back my air travel, and a goodly portion of that cut-back stems directly from the interminable line-standing (exacerbated by the need to attempt running to actually /catch/ my transborder flight, owing to Air Canada's inherent tight connections).
Sigh.
