Fee free withdraws on Chase debit cards in Canada
I looked around and didn't see this. Thought I'd point it out. Realize that as always YMMV.
When I was traveling to Canada weekly I found that I could use my Chase debit card at a Bank of Montreal to withdraw cash without paying an ATM fee. This probably saved me hundreds of dollars over the course of 4 years. When I closed my Chase account (customer service issues), I asked about it and they didn't have a clue why that was possible. Of course this is Denver and most of them don't know what a 'Canada' is anyway.

Just guessing, but this could be because Chase has a relationship with Bank of Montreal, in the way that Bank of America has relationships with foreign banks in Canada (Scotia Bank) and in some other countries. See http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1122838
