Heads up
Canada is the second-largest country on Earth, and getting between cities takes real planning. Each major city has its own transit system and fare card. Interac is the national debit network, so tap-to-pay works almost everywhere. Tipping culture is similar to the US, typically 15-20% at restaurants.
