I protested this years ago. I was told that the program is ready late enough so that it would not reliably reach Canadians on time if it were sent the regular way and that sending it a faster way would be too expensive. At the time, I responded (semi-seriously) by suggesting that Canadians' conference fees should be reduced by whatever it costs to send programs in the US (since we are paying for but not receiving that service)--albeit this would be essentially a symbolic gesture, for that cost was about $2-3 if memory serves. But mail and courier costs have shifted radically since then. Perhaps it is time for a renewed effort. To be efffective, however, we should begin by determining the current CCCC rationale and actual costs involved.
