A lot of my Canadian pictures come from the pre-digital days. Went on a lot of family vacations throughout eastern Canada when I was a kid, but I don't have a negative scanner (though I've thought about getting one) and so can't easily upload old pictures, and I haven't scanned any of the prints. So here are some more recent ones. Except for the last picture, all of them are from a trip to Nova Scotia in July 2008.
^^^^^ Cable ferry near LaHave. I view the ferry as being part of the highway network.
^^^^^ View to the north from the same cable ferry. I found it interesting that the white "Cable Ferry" sign would be facing the water, as anyone already on the ferry presumably knows there's a cable ferry there. I assume the sign is probably intended as a warning to other boaters not to put in at that spot.
^^^^^ Leaving Peggy's Cove. The sign is perfectly accurate that you can go either way to Halifax. I just found it a bit amusing.
^^^^^ The Seal Island Bridge, part of the Trans-Canada Highway on Cape Breton Island.
^^^^^ The Englishtown cable ferry, also on Cape Breton Island. We were en route from Louisbourg to the Keltic Lodge and decided to go this way instead of going further south to the official start of the Cabot Trail.
^^^^^ The Cabot Trail in Cape Breton Highlands National Park near Pleasant Bay.
^^^^^ Looking the other way at the same pull-off in the previous picture.
^^^^^ Starting to descend on the western side of the Cabot Trail.
^^^^^ Perhaps THE most famous road picture in Canada? I think everyone who drives the Cabot Trail takes a picture here looking south to Cheticamp if the weather permits.
Finally, this picture is of chemin du Village in Mont-Tremblant, Quebec, in January 2006. I like the way they do the four-way stop as a diagram.
Edited to add: The stop sign might be hard to make out in the picture above, so here is that part of the image at full size:
