Anyone fly Air Canada  before?

Lookin at flights from Montreal to Tampa on Aug 12
seems no one actually does that directly
and if i take the carrier i prefer, then i'd be flying back to the UK (doh!)


so, there are a variety of airlines i can chose from currently
NWA, AA, United, US air, Continental, Delta, Air Canada


Grrr Want BritishAir miles but that means i'd have to take AA and i'm going to skip that one after my last experience with them.
tho i suppose i can collect Virgin miles by going with Continental and their schedule doesn't look too bad and with a total travel time of just over 5 hours including the connection (an hour on the ground)

Question:
i know going through border control happens on the Canada side when flying into the US
but what if i fly from Montreal, to Toronto, then onwards into the USA? Will i be processed in Montreal or Toronto?

Air Canada has an early am flight into Toronto where I can sit in their lounge for a couple of hours before boarding the flight to Tampa.
no point in thinking i'm going to use it if my time is going to be queued up going through the US's immigration process in Toronto.

Glasgow, Copenhagen, Vienna, Athens. Sept/Oct 2007
Australia/New Zealand, Nov 2007

the difficult part about traveling from athens to anywhere around april and the months prior, is that is during the off-season. the majority of lowcost airlines don't have routes going everywhere. i have quite a few of the different airline routes already memorized in my head. if you give me a city i travel to, i can most likely tell you if there's an airline that services a particular destination where you can save some money.
the off season is hard.

in april i need to get to Bremen, but since there are no flights there (except for one run by lufthansa (athens to munich/munich to bremen) and $600+), i'm going to have to fly into Dusseldorf (via olympic airlines-about 110 euro) or to Koln (via GermanWings-75 euro).
then DBahn to Bremen (2.5 hours from Dusseldorf or 3 hours from Koln).

i'm starting to collect miles on olympic. plus, they serve food with silverware that's actually silver. !

so then,
04 April - to Dusseldorf/dbahn to Bremen
06/07 April - dbahn to Essen
10 April - to Vienna (in a fucking car omgomgomg i hope no one has GAS!)
16 April - to Copenhagen booked.. (yes! free flight on AirBerlin!)
22 April - to Athens booked. sterling air. i like flying with them too.
