I will be in Ont. and Que. at one point but plan to go to the US first as I've seen so very little of it. But Martian, I would like pointers on what to see in Ontario because you're from there, yes?
And also, to make this clear, I'm not only looking for the obvious answers (see the Statue of Liberty, go to the french quarter, etc) but also the amazing inner-american and inner-canadian things that one would miss when driving to the obvious. But, I do want the obvious as well.
Sorry, I should of been more clear. I am starting in Fredericton, New Brunswick, and crossing the border in Woodstock into Maine. Where do I go?
Or along the way, what do I have to see?

Aha, my apologies. Somehow I got it into my head that you were American. Now that I have a better understanding I can give you some more options.
I am indeed from Ontario, although it's a big province and I haven't even come close to seeing all of it. If you're coming out of the praries you'll probably do well to come into the province via Highway 17. That'll take you through Thunder Bay (I've always wanted to see
Ouimet Canyon myself) and Sault St Marie; you can follow it right across the province, or take Highway 69 (heh) in Sudbury, where you can stop to see the giant nickel if you want. Highway 69 will put you on 400, which takes you right into Toronto. I could list off a few of the sights there, but you'd probably do better to wait for one of the natives; I grew up near Toronto, but haven't spent enough time actually in the city to name any real landmarks besides the obvious ones. At any rate, you can follow the 401 from there right out through Kingston and right into Quebec, or you can take a detour to see Ottawa if that's your thing.
