Which Canadian Provinces/Territories have you been to?

Just a thought , but wouldn’t it be more relevant to ask where your from, and why your travelling in the first place ?

If you’re a Canadian its not a big deal if you visited every Canadian state /province ?
If you’re from the South seas or the Hymlayas then its much more interesting.

Canada is huge. I’m not at all surprised that someone living in the eastern provinces has not made it to the Territories, and it would be a big deal if they made it all the way to Nunavut or Inuvik. Just getting to the NWT by car or truck is a daunting task, even from BC.

Forgot to say, was briefly in St,Johns , spent a little bit longer in Vancouver.

I really thought that it was going to be cold up there, but it was a hell of a lot sunnier then England,

Watched Irish, Americans, having to go through the process, but as an English tourist went straight through the border, but was an English soldier at the time.

Quebec Countless Times, Ontario many times, Vancouver, twice, and Nova Scotia when I was a wee little lad. Mom was Canadian (but as close to being an American as one can possibly be). She was born in a customs house on the border as her father was a Canadian Customs Agent.

D’oh! :smack::o You’re absolutely right, and I’ve mentioned him and Newfoundland elsewhere on the Board too. Not sure why Nova Scotia just popped out like that.

Heh. Back when I was getting ready to drive from Ottawa to Edmonton, I made a comment something like, “I’m going to be driving across Canada!” A poster from Halifax or somewhere answered me with simply this: :dubious:

Then it took me just over two days just to get out of Ontario.

It probably is the most beautiful parcel of land on the planet.

Well, it certainly can be done, you just need a lot of time to do it. And you have to like to drive. A lot. :slight_smile:

I didn’t think it’s possible to travel to Nova Scotia by bus or train without traveling through one of the other Atlantic Provinces, unless you went to Maine and took the ferry.

No, I took the overnight train from Quebec to Halifax, so i did go through New Brunswick. It’s been a while and I had forgotten.
But I never got off the train and set foot on the ground, so it doesn’t count for the OP anyway…

And you’ll probably want to slit your wrists before you’re done crossing the prairies.

You’ve got to get out of your car and experience the prairies every so often to appreciate them. Then you have to just get into the zen of prairie driving - it’s very soothing. :slight_smile:

To the point of catatonia.

Northern Ontario is the difficult part of a cross-Canada drive. The lack of a proper, limited access freeway means that travel through there is necessarily slower than anywhere else; and if you get stuck behind a slow RV, the next passing lane will always be miles away. On the other hand, simply putting any sort of road through that area is a real feat of engineering, and the scenery is breathtaking. When I’ve driven through northern Ontario, I’ve always counted on at least two days to get through there.

That’s a good way to put it. It is oddly soothing to drive the prairies. Besides, driving in bright sunshine while watching a thunderstorm pound down in the distance; or seeing a city appear on the horizon and watching it grow bigger over the next hour or two as you get closer, are things that help make the drive interesting.

On a cursory look, the voting seems to reflect the populations of the provinces…

Only Ontario and Manitoba here - Winnipeg, Toronto, Niagara Falls, Niagara-On-The-Lake and Windsor.

Quebec only. While visiting Vermont / New York I took a few days and visited Montreal as a side trip. What a great city, I had a blast!

Just 3 so far, Ontario, Quebec, and Manitoba. But I will get to the others eventually.

Or rip someone’s head off.
