23 hours to go from Cornwall, Ontario to Kenora, Ontario by the most direct route.
Where is the joke about the famous woman who would just use her jet?
And that doesn’t even include the furthest communities or settlements. just fastest route to the Manitoba border.
There are a lot of communities in Northern Ontario that there are no direct roads to.
Trying to plot a bunch of routes out right now to get an idea and half the routes direct me to drive through the US to save time.
Windsor to Kenora is the longest I’ve plotted so far at 23 hours
Came here for this. Ontario is massive.

Tbf you drive super slow on your lonely highways. If that Was an Autobahn you could easily cut that time in half.
There is no road between two major cities. American mind cannot comprehend this.
Once again for those who didn’t make it to our last session:
The M25.
Giggles in aussie
You can drive as long as you want, it’s still aussie
Yeah you Aussies get it in a way the Brits just don’t. Your continent is also quite large. Driving from Perth to Sydney is about like the drive from San Francisco to New York. 3 days later you arrive at a different ocean.
I met some Brits on a flight back to Aus and they were a bit confused…
They thought they would be having breakfast at Bondi, bushwalk and picnic in the Blue Mountains then drive down to Melbourne for dinner and back to their hotel in Sydney.
That’s around 20 hours of driving not including stops.
They really didn’t comprehend the scale.
Sometimes I wonder if they do that on purpose just to amuse Americans/Australians/Canadians. “Remember to ask to see things in three corners of the continent in an afternoon and watch them explain how unreasonably gigantic the place is. They seem to love it.”
On the other hand I did once have to explain to one of my British friends what American TV bumpers meant when they said “nine, eight central.” You don’t tend to think about time zones when your whole country fits in one of them.
I would think so but I overheard them and they had no idea I was Aussie at that point…
On the other hand, when you start from Texline (which I suppose is the starting point of that 13 hour journey) in the northeast of the state, you could easily escape Texas within minutes.
On the other hand, in Europe you can get through a number of countries in thirteen hours just because we have a working road system.
The United States has one of the best highway systems in the world. Say what you want about our lack of public transportation, but we’re a country built for cars. Vroom, vroom, motherfucker.
The American mind can’t just comprehend that there’s world besides the USA. Australia, Germany, Italy, Norway, Sweden, Finland as many pointed out all have longer routes. Don’t let me get started on Russia or we might end up with a new race between the US and Russia trying to come with the longest road.
Another thing the American mind can’t just comprehend (about Europe) is how someone can drive across multiple countries without ever stopping on checkpoints/border controls/customs and most of time without even exiting/changing highways.
The American mind can’t just comprehend what it is to send money to a friend in another EU country with just a single number. No 3rd party services, no routing and account numbers, no fees, no banking shenanigans. Simply login into your European bank, type the value and the IBAN and the transfer is done. :)
Fucking eat it Texas!
Wtf is a Woonsocket?
Its where you plug in your pawtucket
The Euopean mind cannot comprehend having to drive 13 hours for what would take a train only 3
Russia: am I a joke to you?
laughing cries in Brazilian
Some people in Daytona Beach can drive 500 miles without even leaving the stadium.
Try tiny Norway with 6m people, you can drive 1 day 18 hours (almost 3000km)from the southwest to the northeast, shortest route.
The European mind just cannot comprehend such distances
