The University of Toronto is also a good school.  I know a couple very prominent
linguists (including my dissertation advisor, Tim Stowell) who got their start
there.  And no, having a BA from a Canadian university would not impair your
chances of going to grad school in the US.  There are tons of Canadian grad
students in linguistics programs down here.  (I'm Canadian myself, although I did
my undergrad in the US.)

Wouldn't be a bad idea--although it would probably be much more expensive for you
than Toronto, what with out-of-state tuition, taxes, and the lousy (for Canadians)
exchange rate.
