Location
Trans-Canada Highway (Canadian national route)
A vast arterial ribbon that threads the country from ocean to ocean, the Trans-Canada Highway reads here as the imagined backbone of Mendoza’s cross-country drive. In Sam’s breathless itinerary it functions as connective geography—endless asphalt, provincial signs ticking by, roadside gas stations and the slow compression of distance into time. The highway operates narratively as a pragmatic route and comic device: it explains delay, sketches a lonely return from Nova Scotia toward Washington, and converts travel logistics into a tangible political nuisance.
