Scratch that. We WERE sent to a special line because we both were carrying walking canes. We were sent to the 'wheelchair line'.
I told the supervisor, "No we don't want any special treatment' and she said--"You want to wait in THAT line" (pointing to all the other lines awaiting Customs clearance". So we took our place in the 'wheelchair line' and were out of there in minutes sipping beers at the Groovy Grouper waiting for a WestJet party to clear customs and board the Seastar Bus.
