I'll be driving from Winnipeg to Montreal sometime late September, early October. According to Google Maps, the best route is through the US which seems kind of indirect. What's the shortest way of going from Winnipeg to Montreal?
Thanks
Buy a GPS
It would be very helpful if I can get the MAP, please . I am planning to drive from Winnipeg to Ottawa this June. Thanks for your help

The Canadian route is preferred by me because of the spectacular scenery along a section of the North Shore of Lake Superior.
The US route south of Lake Superior is more direct and fuel is cheaper "over there" but there was nothing else to recommended the route.
Besides, you haven't lived 'til you've been to Wawa.
Make sure to fuel up, long stretches of nothing and very expensive gas.
If he can get across the border..

It is the longer route, though and you drive through trees and rocks ... rocks and trees for many hours.

There is one other consideration besides distance and that is the quality of the roads. US roads are generally better and as a result you can make better time.
Uh, the some of the major interstates maybe, but I know that route on the map. Unless it's been widened the whole length since I last made that drive, it's pretty much two lane black top once you're out of Duluth.
It has been a while since I drove it, but the highway north of Lake Superior was definitely not world class. Do you know if it has been upgraded?
There is more than one Trans Canada Highway route. The more southerly one is in better condition, although a fair bit of it is built on muskeg and is subject to constant maintenance as it sinks into the goo (A patch of Lake Superior muskeg swallowed a CNR locomotive whole). A fair bit of of the highway is three lane as you are never far from a passing lane on that route. I can't imagine how many tens of billions it would take to widen that highway but we're wrung out enough here in Ontariariario, thanks very much.
Hi ! I am driving from Winnipeg to Ottawa on June 8, 2017. I am wondering about ferry service between Thunder Bay and Sault Ste. Marie. Can you guys suggest me any ferry on my way which will reduce my driving.
Thanks
Fifty three years ago, Canadian Pacific used to run a really cool ferry service from Port Arthur (Thunder Bay) to Port McNichol (Midland) stopping in S.S.Marie. They had two beautiful little ships, the Assiniboine and the Keewatin (now a floating museum).
You are too late by a half a century but you missed a really classy ride.
