If you really want to see the real Canada, just take the side roads (even the gravel ones) and make your way across the country. Stop in as many towns as you can and have breakfast, lunch and dinner as you go. The surprises you find will be worth more than just picking a bunch of destinations. Of course, you should do a bit of research, but making it random can be the best part. In the prairies, the trans canada highway doesnt offer much scenery or culture.

For the prairies......go through

Winnipeg, Portage la Prairie, then north to riding mountain national park.

Then.....Yorkton, Saskatoon, then west through Rosthern......then north battleford, then Edmonton.......down to Calgary........Then to Crowsnest Pass.....then Fernie.......Nelson, then to ....Okanagan........Then vancouver and vancouver island.

I kind of did that trip once, but took a different route along the south edge of manitoba and saskatchewan, and I will never forget it.
