First hitchhike in Quebec for me !After the last big intersection of Talbot Boulevard in Chicoutimi, direction Quebec / Mtl.
Practical for the possibility of sheltering from the rain at the SAQ Sélection.

To hitchhike to Toronto, get the train at Veldome/Lucien-L'Allier (where the Metro meets the train, you can use any other station on that line) and head to Dorion. Once there get to the 20 highway that passes south of the rail through the town, to the last set of traffic light. Wide shoulders, slow and freaquent traffic, only problen is that big vehicles are forbiden from stopping. Took me 30 minutes with a sign, as from 11:30 am.―Anonymous

There are not that many places where to hitch from in Montreal, but heading towards Ottawa (40W) this might prove a good try. I got a ride in a truck going to Pointe Claire. Very good when there is a lot of traffic as people can see you in the distance. They were very surprised to see a hitcher there. It is a bus stop for bus 100, which you can board at Crémazie metro station.―Anonymous

Very nice spot. Cars have time to see you and loads of space to stop―Travelnroll

Quite a neat spot, though I had to wait a bit over an hour, which is longer than Quebec average for me. Maybe beacuse I started on the morning of Canada Day.Easy to get to, $3 bus ride from the centre of Montreal. Great place to pull over, long straight stretch to get noticed from far, as though it was meant for hitching. Not so much traffic though.

Second time we get lucky here. It was dark, we thought it wouldn't work. Only 15min and someone drove us straight to Ottawa―Travelnroll

Take the train to Île Perrot OR take bus 211 from Lionel-Groulx subway station and walk from the terminus over the bridge to here. The highway becomes a boulevard for a short disance, there is heavy traffic but a lot of space to pull over, so it's very safe. Get a ride past Vaudreuil at least to be completely out of the metropolitain area.―Anonymous

Found it nearly impossible to hitch anywhere closer to the city, and here you are more likely to find cars that are leaving the island. We waited outside a gas station at the intersection, about 15-20 minutes.C'était impossible pour trouver un ride plus proche à la ville-- ici, il y a plusieurs voitures qui vont sortir l'isle de Montréal. Nous avons attendus à une station d'essence, au feu tricolore, pour 15-20 minutes.
