When we were attempting to choose a location for 2017 the Toronto Linux User group was asked if they could assist with organizing an event in Toronto. This was due to some worries about travel to the US at the time. They did not have the cycles on such short notice, but did indicate that they would be willing to assist with 2019.
I wanted to remind people about this discussion in case Toronto was a consideration for 2019.
Several events in Canada this year had problems with visa denials to Indian travelers. We get a fair number of attendees from there so I didn’t offer it in the initial proposal.

I’m sure the council would like feedback.
A conference I was at last week in Vancouver had issues with Chinese, Indian and two US residents too.
