Trip to Montreal

You owe me $180 CAD

Remember: you owe me $180 CAD for the Montreal trip. Pay me in cash at our first meeting or else I won't give you your tickets.

If you want one, I'll handwrite you a receipt so this transaction has a written record.

Getting there

The Via Rail station is right next to ① Tremblay station.

Before heading there, buy a meal at Farm Boy. Via Rail food options are underwhelming.
