Re: 2012 - Travel Canada
Much of the mid west states are also flat and uninspiring. If driving from Toronto then Michigan (Upper Penninsula exempt) Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa & Kansas etc dont hold the same anticipation as driving through Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, the west end of Montana, Wyoming and Washington State.
I agree its quicker and probably less expensive to fly TO to Calgary than drive or bus it or Amtrak it.

I was getting carried away and started on the chorus rather than drop the last and miles

We could do the panto bit
Oh yes they did

Re: 2012 - Travel Canada
So, some things to see, from right to left:
- NF outports, rent a boat and go and see the evidence of forced collectivization, a bit like Chernobyl but won't make your bits drop off
- NS tar ponds, save having to visit Alberta
- Cape Breton, scenic, like Cornwall
- Quebec City, the only part of Canada that's charming in a European way
- Toronto, quite a good selection of cheese
- Rockies, bit like the Alps but in Canada
- Vancouver, can't say I've ever fancied going but it's where the airport is on the left coast
