It will be interesting to see how widespread DCC becomes in Canada as a result.
I do believe the fact that Canada is chip-and-PIN is beneficial since there is a higher chance the customer will be facing the PIN pad when the DCC prompt comes up.
Plus Moneris terminals always ask the customer to confirm the amount (which personally I find annoying with a Canadian card, as I'm essentially confirming the CAD amount twice).
