A US cross country trip often involves New York City to Los

For Canada, the equivalent would involve Vancouver of course, but

A _real_ cross-Canada route would run from St. Johns, Newfoundland &
Labrador to Victoria, British Columbia.

But I know a number of people who have attempted a cross-Canada trip
have taken a bit of a shortcut and started in Halifax.

Agreed. We New Englanders consider a cross-country US trip starting in
New York a bit abbreviated as well.

Yes, I would imagine so too. But in this case, one and a half time
zones have been left out! Terry Fox knew where to start his
cross-Canada trip..St. John's Nfld. I do admit though, that beginning
a paddle trip in Newfoundland would be very problematic. As far as I
know, there's only been one successful NS to NFLD paddle crossing,
that having been done this summer past by a 60+ year old man who not
only went solo, but told no one he was doing it. Yow.
