The distance has not changed. It still takes roughly ten hours to cover it by road, before stops and depending on conditions.<sup id="fnref:1"><a href="#fn:1" class="footnote-ref" role="doc-noteref">1</a></sup></p> <p>I have a medical appointment in Montréal on Wednesday morning.</p> <p>On Tuesday, I finish my workday as usual.
