Just a couple of things off the top of my head:

- When approaching the Manitoba-Ontario border, fill up in Falcon Lake. Fuel prices go up as soon as you enter Ontario.

- Towns in Northwestern Ontario are spread out with a whole lot of nothing in between. Plan where to fuel up in Northern Ontario ahead of time. Same thing if you plan on staying somewhere. It sucks when you are getting tired and still 2 hours from the next town with accommodations.

- Northern Ontario has a lot of single lane windy highways. It's beautiful country, but don't plan on getting though quickly, especially during construction season. I have completed the trip from Toronto to Vancouver numerous times, and driving through Ontario alone is about half the total time.
