On the landing card in Toronto I wrote consultant as my occupation. You would have thought I wrote International Terrorist. The goons there escorted the two other gentleman I was traveling with and I to a private room where we were grilled at length about the purpose of our one day trip. A long monologue that sounded similar to the riot act but was actually about NAFTA then ensued for several minutes. Subsequently, we were accused of stealing jobs from hardworking Canadians. As a result I now wear my green visor and write accountant on the declaration.
