Northern Ontario is big. Like, really big. The rocks and trees and water are really pretty, but be prepared to see nothing else for hours upon hours. I think when I drove from GTA to Thunder Bay it was about 15 hours.
When I went out east last summer, I went through Northern Quebec and Labrador, and loved it. Just some wild rugged beauty, some dirt roads that wind their way back and forth, trucks driving absolutely insanely, and hours of not seeing a soul. If you do go that route, just know gas stations and hotels are far apart, so take advantage when you can.
Chances to see bears and everything else. Ferry from Labrador to Newfoundland is pretty short.
When I went, I was going to stop in Churchill Falls where there is a hotel, but when I emailed, they had no vacancies. I ended up driving from Baie-Comeau to Happy Valley Goose Bay.
if anyone does go, drive through Quebec City to get across the St Lawrence, because the ferry schedules further east can be not what is expected.
