Problems connecting with with Canadian Backpage

I saved a few numbers, so these providers are going to feel the dwindling customers from USA. Will this make them more willing to haggle for higher or lower rates ?

Or simply using Canadian boards for info.
I have been using listcrawler. I think it picks up all the ads. This is annoying.

That's fucked up! Wow. Whatta bunch of pussies.

Yes, Steve is right. Without proxy, no matter how you try to access the Niagara Falls, Canada site....it takes you to a U.S. page.

When you do the search it must end "eh?" Then it goes right through

I now use the Whale app on my iPhone. So far it's not cost me a cent.

I use an Android and have been using "Unblock Website VPN Browser". Found it in the "Play Store" after searching "proxy browser for android". It's free but an add pops up once on each initial start up. After disposing of it, going to the Canadian bp adds works fine.

They are still afraid to use agencies after the law change a few years back. Business is just starting to make a comeback. The Canuck boards suck, but they are at least helpful for determining which BP indies are legit. Americans are not as significant a force in the market as we would like to believe. Canadian tourists are more influential.
