I'm not Ensorceled, but I'm Canadian and this has happened to me too (in NYC and San Diego).

Nothing too bad, but people have glared at me, asked what I was doing or if they knew me, etc.

I was astonished; it's just something that everybody does where I live so it was weird to have people react like I was doing something outrageous.
