better to use BofA card at ATM or Cap1 MC?
I'm about to go to Canada (Vancouver) for a few days, and I will be spending a substantial amount of money.

I have a BofA Platinum debit card that I can use at ScotiaBank ATM's for (I believe) no ATM fee and no forex fee (right?).

I also have a Capital One Platinum Mastercard, which I also believe charges no forex fee.

Given a choice between paying for something with cash from an ATM or with the Cap 1 card, which will get me a better exchange rate?

Or are any of my no-forex assumptions incorrect?

thanks...
