Lang, the distance from Vancouver to Halifax is around 4000 miles, not km.
The Canada – United States border is the international border between Canada and the United States. Officially known as the International Boundary, it is the longest common border in the world and is unmilitarized. The terrestrial boundary (including small portions of maritime boundaries on the Atlantic, Pacific, and Arctic coasts, as well as the Great Lakes) is 8,891 kilometres (5,525 mi) long, including 2,475 kilometres (1,538 mi) shared with Alaska. It is Canada's only land border, and Canada is by far the largest country with this distinction.

David,
I am not trying to suggest Canada is anything other than a BIG country but the distance from (From another Canadian Government mapping site) Vancouver to Halifax is 2,760 Miles or 4443 Kilometres. This seems pretty right to me if you look at the superimposed map above of Australia and USA which also shows Vancouver and Halifax and that distance looks a bit more than Brisbane to Perth which is 2,245 Miles or 3,614 Kilometres. It is really hard trying to get a mental picture of what Canada's real shape is because of the gross distortion of the common Mercator Projection maps we are all used to. I have found a good one here where the "Equator" runs through the centre of Canada givng it the least possible distortion. Lang Last edited by Lang; 20-04-09 at 00:37. Reason: spelling
