    Uh, you can drive for longer than that and still be in the same province here in Canada.

      I recently visited Saskatchewan for a friend’s wedding in a town nearish Saskatoon. Crossing the boarder in North Dakota it was another 8 hours of driving in SK before we reached our destination…which was still in the lowest 1/3 of the province!

        If you’re willing to drive N/S, the Prairies are like 775 miles tall. Quebec is like 1250 miles tall and is the size of like, France, Germany and the UK combined.

        Canada is basically the same size as Europe with like 5% of the population.

      Yup. Just checked in Ontario, and if you want to drive from Windsor to Kenora, that’s a 24 hour drive. If you shortcut through the US, it’s only 19 hours

      I mean, just using this general location, if you started in Chicago and went south on 57 out of Chicago, you might still be in Illinois at the end of the trip.
