Hey All!

        My 2 cents worth (1.4 cents American)

        I just have to say that on a long journey I'll take just about any
American Intersate over the 400/401/403/QEW Ontario expressways.  I do
not know what Montreal is like but Toronto is full of people who just
have to get where they are going first, be it 20 minutes away or 2
hours.  80 to 85 mph in a 60 zone is the norm.  In reality they just
drive faster to the 2 mile long 12 lane parking lot that forms just
inside or outside the city.

        I've been over New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Michigan in
everything from my truck to a big motorhome with a car trailer in tow. 
Traffic flowed quite nicely at 55 to 65 mph.  You basically get where
you want to.  The worst things I have run into is construction
(generally massive) and fatigue, oh yes, and Ontario drivers who still
have that 'I gotta get there first, or else' attitude.
