work brought me to Montreal and I gave myself a day extra for some spotting before work started.
I had never been spotting in Canada, so this visit gave me a good oppertunity to catch some Canadian stuff. Here's my selection of this day:
1. Government of Quebec CL-601 C-GQBQ taking off:

2. I think the new livery of Air Canada looks really good. Here's Air Canada Express CRJ900 C-GJZT:

3. Flights to Mexico are quite popular from Montreal. Next to several Canadian flying there, two Mexican airlines fly to YUL, like InterJet, here with A320 XA-ECO, which has special green lines in its livery:

11. Definitely one of the highlights was this beautiful B737-200C C-GMAI from Air Inuit. What a noice and what a pretty livery!

12. Surprising to see GetJet here at Montreal. A319 LY-KIT was flying for Sunwing, subbing for their grounded B737MAX8s:

13. At YUL you mainly see the commuter sister companies from the main US-carriers like American Eagle, Delta Connection and United Express. Here's ERJ140 N812AE from American Eagle in the old livery, looking very worn:
