West toward Toronto
One can also take the train to Gare Dorion, and walk about 15 minutes to the entrance of Highway 20. It is a good place, with plenty of place to stop and traffic lights just in front of the stop. The only problem is that most traffic is local; the first service station is just across the border in Ontario, therefore, it may be a good idea to wait for a ride to that station.
Finoboss has been very successful in getting rides all the way to Toronto from [https://www.google.fr/maps/place/Vaudreuil-Dorion,+QC,+Canada/@45.3755438,-74.026886,3a,66.8y,221.31h,77.19t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sSgIKay84oTxAvFqY7aae7Q!2e0!4m2!3m1!1s0x4cc935fe287e6f93:0x5040cadae4d5050 this spot], here [https://www.google.fr/maps/dir/@45.3755718,-74.0252525,18z on the map]. You can get there either by walking from the Dorion train station, or by taking local rides (ask them to drop you off in front of the [https://www.google.fr/maps/place/Vaudreuil-Dorion,+QC,+Canada/@45.3770814,-74.0241951,3a,66.8y,188.69h,80.44t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sMIQzr9swrZqQ_ooN4UZErA!2e0!4m2!3m1!1s0x4cc935fe287e6f93:0x5040cadae4d5050 Kia car place], from there it's a 5 minute walk). All the cars going past this point are going to Ontario, so just being there in the morning with a sign saying Toronto and walking back and forth along the central strip of grass, smiling at drivers while the light is red has a good chance of landing you a ride all the way to Toronto. Also, police cars have driven past me a number of times and they don't seem to mind at all.
Worth noting that most Ontario bound traffic leaves before noon to avoid traffic, so try get there early. Edward101277 tried to hitch this stretch and got offered a ride to Valleyfield, but hitchhiking from Valleyfield to Ontario proved difficult, so recommended to wait a while with a sign saying Ontario.  
If you want to go to Ottawa, there's a great spot right before highway 40. Just continue straight past the 20 and along 'Avenue des Anciens Combattants' for about 10 minutes. For pictures of the spot, see: http://imgur.com/v2vDG and http://imgur.com/wPYQK
