It's a Canadian icon, but it didn't come easily. In \u003ci\u003eThe Drive Across Canada\u003c\/i\u003e, automotive journalist Mark Richardson tells the stories of the pioneers who first drove across the country in the early days of cars and motorcycles, even before any roads existed, and of the political fight to create a physical link that would connect Canadians to every province of their vast country.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRichardson drove the length of the Trans-Canada Highway in 2023, repeating the drive he first completed in 2012. He encounters a hurricane in Newfoundland, a firestorm in British Columbia, and unspeakable tragedies on the Prairies. He meets people whose lives have been changed by the highway, sometimes in ways they could never have imagined, and along the way, the highway changes his life too.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Richardson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1459754921\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781459754928\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dundurn Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/03\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Mark Richardson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46217184346367,"sku":"9781459754928","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fa8e9128-ca0e-45e8-b8eb-23824926a7e9.jpg?v=1728514508","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-drive-across-canada-mark-richardson-9781459754928","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
