    Just saw where someone said they went "across #Canada" from "Atlantic to Pacific". Curious, I checked the start point. I assumed the person probably did the shortcut of starting in Halifax instead of the more distant St. John's. But no, they started in Toronto and went to Vancouver πŸ˜‚
    I'm sure it was a lovely/tough/fascinating/etc trip. But it wasn't "across Canada", it was 2/3 of the way. And not Atlantic to Pacific unless you claim that Lake Ontario is the Atlantic 🌞

      @lastrobot
      One of my summer jobs was working at a tourist info stop on Hwy 17 at the Keewatin Bridge just a little west of Kenora, ON. Many many people traveling east from MB would state that they were headed to Toronto and expected to get there by the afteroon/evening... easily a 2-day drive from Kenora on a 2-lane 'highway'.

        @lastrobot more appropriately, they went from the centre of the universe to the Pacific, according to your average Torontonian.

          @lastrobot can confirm… that extra bit from Toronto to the Atlantic shores of QC, NB, NS or PEI is…. Large.

          But then, the only place where I have ever been asked if it β€œwas 10 or 12 hours to travel from Calgary to Toronto?”… was at a pub in Toronto.

          I didn’t bother explaining where Vancouver Island was. πŸ˜‚ πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

            @chris @lastrobot That Calgary-Toronto question checks out.

            Tourists to MontrΓ©al think they can do QuΓ©bec and the Rockies in one weekend. πŸ˜…
