It is Montreal (small quibble) There are no dry provinces in Canada, there are a patchwork quilt of regulations though that limit the sale for trains. About tipping, there is a joke told in the states about Canadians: What is the differnece between a Canadian and a canoe? A: A canoe tips. Anyways tipping is the same in Canada although it can vary widely, A ten percent tip is ok in Ontario to low, but it will but the love and undying attention of a western waiter/tress. Rough rule is to tip whatever you do at home, if you get soup on your pants well, you learned something. Mike Upmalis (mupmalis@watarts)
