ACS 2007 Chicago: the small chemical world

Chemistry is great, and I'm not just saying that because I'm at the ACS meeting. Who'd have thought that, in my first hour here, in a crowd of 12,000 (predominately US-based) chemists I should bump into a familiar face - Victor Snieckus, a Canadian-based chemist, originally from the Baltic States, who enthusiastically organises a conference in the Baltic countries every couple of years.

Well, I didn't think it that odd, but according to Snieckus, it is unusual for Canadians to cross the border and venture south to this meeting. That really surprised me, so any Canadian chemists listening, can you let me know why?
