Here's a comparison I haven't seen elsewhere. Maybe it'll be helpful for people in other countries, illustrating the challenges of distance in Canada's far north.

Evacuees from #Yellowknife need to drive 14.5 hrs to get to Edmonton. This is like evacuees leaving Manhattan, at the Lincoln Tunnel and driving to an #evacuation reception centre in Jacksonville, Florida.

And the route in Canada's north is flat-out highway driving – not urban streets and stop lights.
