I've been from Quebec City to Vancouver. So I still want to see Vancouver Island, Atlantic Canada and the far north.
Plus, theres lots in the places I have been that I over looked. When I read Pierre Berton's books about the War of 1812 a few years ago, I had the huge urge to see a lot of the places mentioned. The fact that I spent the first 30 years of my life actually living in the areas (and driving right past the blue historical markers without ever stopping) just means I can picture the distances really well, but never realized the history.
note: my whole Canadian history interest was tweaked the first time I drove through the Rockies by myself and was astonished at the railway, and how they could have built that 100 years ago. So I started reading. There are amazing stories in Canada's history.
