Hi Brandon,
I'm in SK as well -- and put in 800 square feet of bamboo around the same time you did. I had it in my house in October, but didn't get the last room installed until December. I noticed no warping in the wood throughout that whole time. And our humidity dipped -- I couldn't keep it above 30% for weeks on end. So far, so good -- no side effects. I live in a drafty Regina bungalow - your humidity was probably much higher.
That said, really cheap bamboo can be a pain. If the wood wasn't dried to a consistent humidity (less then 9%) it can release a bunch of humidity in a hurry and bow. Some people would say not to install bamboo in SK at all...
Time will tell!
