    All these guys are posting crossing their whole country, but as Texas is one state, it’s fair to say that’s the same as a province.

    Shared route From Windsor, Ontario to Kenora, Ontario via ON-401 E.

    23 hr 6 min (2,190 km) For the best route in current traffic visit https://maps.app.goo.gl/Jmm9TmKVu79bTANq5

    Staying only within Ontario, Canada it takes almost one full day of literally non stop driving.

      Best I can find in Canada is in BC. I think you could get longer distances in a few other provinces, but the issue is a lack of roads/destinations in the northern corners, haha.

        That is a respectable size and to you sir I can only say what any man can say in this situation.

        It’s not about the size, but how you use it. ;-)

      Someone travelling from Windsor would almost certainly take the shorter 17hr trip through the states. Still a long one.

      The 51st state is part of the USA, that’s the whole point of this post. The Euros just can’t grasp the size.

      I guess I missed the /s

      Did no one get the 51st state joke…

        Your geography lesson for today is (Google) mapping a route from Brest to Menton (France) and compare it to the route posted by OP.

          Your history lesson for today is looking up when Canada became the 51st state…and realize I was being sarcastic.

          But that’s crossing a country. Texas is a state. Going from San Diego to Portland, Maine is ~46 hours, and that’s probably not the longest route. There’s also Alaska and Hawaii (no direct roads to the contiguous 48 states), and Florida, that’s just a pretty long route off the top of my head.
