Of course, I didn't find that out until most of my long tour days are over, giving away $2-3 at every ATM because I used my commercial bank card.
If I remember correctly it was about $4 or $5 at every ATM in the US, using a Canadian bank card.
I am sure it is the same for you guys when you are in Canada. It just annoys me that I have to pay that much to access my money. Back in the old days Amex travellers cheques were 1%.
Of course then you had to find some place that would accept them.
