Evie
Pronounced like Eevee
A Canadian-style interstate system might not be all that bad an idea. The federal government appropriating control of certain highways deemed of national interest (particularly those parts the provinces have no interest in looking after) would be a good thing.
It would certainly be a step up from the current Trans-Canada Highway, which leaves control of the individual role to the provinces that are more interested in building up the freeways between their own cities than those going toward other provinces. Hence the West Ontario issue, or the sharp difference in quality in Quebec between the Montreal-Quebec portion of the Trans-Canada and the rest.
