I am thinking of something similar, but I have lived in parts of this route, namely Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Quebec, & Ontario and I was last through as far as Sault Ste. Marie in 2004.
Thus, I am planning 15 days going west, 15 days coming east and 30 days around Alaska, Northwest Territories and Yukon. If I do it once this is better than not-at-all.
The warmer month I will go north in Quebec to Saguenay and across to Kirkland Lake, etc, along the lakes and again more north. In the cooler month I will take a more southerly route.
I strongly advise getting visitors guides from every province or state you visit. & at the top of this page is a sticky on resources for Alaska, if you're going to touch base there.
IMHO a Canadian trip is a Canadian trip. Don't go down into the states. There is plenty to see in Canada. Think history - Northwest Mounted Police preceded the RCMP and provided security which kept the Prairies as part of Canada. Think dinosaurs too. Remember eastern parts were settled in time of sail and cart. Two lane roads are worth a drive or two. Bluenose II takes its life to the age of fast sail. Lots of parks, including living history.
Take your time and remember exercise helps keep the each day different from the last. & the high speed routes aren't necessarily the most scenic. You might want to drive the North Shore of the St. Lawrence. You might want to do the heavily populated southern Ontario. I saw Niagara Falls first as a teenager. I'll go north through Ottawa on my southern route.
