ENIGMATICO 
@quarc Wouldnt the line have to follow the geodesic line?

@enigmatico @quarc im fairly sure google maps' map projection makes those into straight lines
@enigmatico
v20(statement "that is, I'm pretty sure, a geodesic line, the straight line distance between fort st john and victoria is around 890km")(statement "by driving distances, to hit all 9 countries it seems like you need to drive about 850km, while fort st. john to victoria's ferry terminal is about 1200km")(statement "as for distance by rail... well this is north america so the rail distance is infinite because there's no rail service there")
