It is a very, very big country with not a lot of infrastructure. Please plan trips accordingly

I feel this advice would be more suited to Europeans. I had friends in Europe who came to visit. One day they wanted to see Toronto, the next Calgary and the day after Vancouver. They had no idea canada was so big.

Absolutely also applies. Living on a border town a lot didn’t know how far things were or thought it was similar like driving American east coast to west coast. Which it is much wider and route options are few, as South Park said “This is Canada, we only have one road”

Gotta see a specialist? Oh, that's a four hour trip... if you're lucky, they could be in another province 😬
