The last cellular-free refuge in North America

Besides the White House and a few other typically inaccessible locations where cellular phone use is not merely banned but blocked, Canadian airlines may be the only place where you can go to avoid being called or, worse, listen to some self-indulgent fool chatter away banally at a high decibel level -- interrupting your peace and quiet. The G&M story is here: Canada refuses to scrap in-flight cellphone ban and the snip is:

OTTAWA and TORONTO -- Canadian authorities say they will continue to prohibit cellphone calls during flights on this country's carriers, despite moves by the United States to reconsider such a ban.

I guess that's one reason to choose Air Canada.
