It is not easy to see all ten provinces of Canada in one go, but it is certainly doable over a period of time.
We accomplished this mission two years ago when we made our trip from British Columbia to Newfoundland and Labrador, covering a span of more than 7,000 kilometres.
So have we seen every part of Canada now?
