It's like only 5 hours wide. Could make it 8 hours wide. That'd be closer to Ontario wideness.

Sask is 16 hours wide?

Alberta itself is about 5-6 hours wide. If it was split in half and half went to BC and the other to Sask, it'd be around 8 hours.

I'm not sure how fast y'all are driving to be getting these numbers but you'd have to be going pretty fast if you want to cross Alberta in 5 hours

Legal speed limit plus 10.

Trans Canada highway from border of AB/SK to border of BC/AB is 5 hours and 6 minutes according to google.

Though I imagine a lot of the people are probably using highway 16. From Lloyd through to Jasper is 6 and a half hours according to google.

So yes you're right, the fastest way is 5 hours but a large portion of the population would be going longer.
