This would be a good candidate for dacron sailcloth and contractor's contact cement on the inside. Dacron sailcloth as in the stuff a sailmaker would use for say an older class of racing dinghies, not the "sailcloth" in fabric stores. The repair would outlast the tire and be just as strong (or stronger than the casing.
I don't know if Montreal has a sailmaker. (I did sail with a guy who used to trail his boat down to Massachusetts from Montreal 50 years ago.) Might do a web search and if yes, give them a call and ask about getting a scrap. A square foot would keep you in first class boots a long time.
