<![CDATA[Just saw where someone said they went "across #Canada" from "Atlantic to Pacific".]]>Just saw where someone said they went "across " 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 😂
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 🌞

Ya. Though I feel I must point out that my conversation was exclusively with Torontonians 😂

Tourists to Montréal think they can do Québec and the Rockies in one weekend. 😅

Large.

But then, the only place where I have ever been asked if it “was 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. 😂 🤦‍♂️

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'.
