Alberta to Quebec

Hey, I'm planning a 4 week trip to eastern Canada (Edmonton to Quebec City is the longest leg) for 2018 and I'm trying to decide which route to take east. Is it best to go straight through Canada or should I travel south and go through the US (mostly hwy 2 I believe) and cross back into Canada at Sault Ste. Marie. I'm looking to do the drive as quickly as possible and they are basically the same distance, so I"m just wondering if anyone has any experience with these various routes and would recommend one (better highways, less stops through towns, better traffic, etc...). Thanks!

    We always took #2 going and coming home. We turned south at St. Ignace tho'. Good highway and plenty of fuel stations along the way. There are good campgrounds along the way also. Speed limits vary according to the State your in.

    We took Hwy 2 for the price on fuel.
    The road condition was also better.

    Be aware of all the small towns that
    have 25, 35, 0r 45 speed limits.

    Easy drive for less cost.
