I like to go to the Kingston area. Get off the 401 at Belleville and take 62 to 33 (Loyalist Parkway). Go past Lake on the Mountain and take the Glenora ferry and continue along 33 into Kingston. Have ice cream at White Mountain and have a beer at the Kingston Brew Pub.
Of course there's always Niagara Falls. I usually go in the winter when the crowds are low and the Festival of Lights is on. Grab a cheap ticket from Costco for the Fallsview Indoor Waterpark. Had an awesome afternoon tea at the Queen Charlotte Tea Room, but if that's not your cup of tea they have lots of other British comfort foods too. Jamie Kennedy has a restaurant in Niagara called Windows if that's more your style. Mostly a lot of bad chain restaurants otherwise. And of course the casino, if that's your thing.
If you haven't seen them before, it's worth the drive to see the Cheltenham Badlands.
Go on a tour of Lake Muskoka on a steamship out of Gravenhurst.
Do you have any particular interests? If you like planes, try the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum near Hamilton, home of one of only two functional Lancaster bombers.
This is really too far to do as a day trip, but I've also been to the Diefenbunker near Ottawa and that was pretty neat.
Try some of these suggestions too:
If you have time, swing by the Ontario Tourism travel centre at the south part (street level) of Atrium on Bay. They have loads of brochures that will give you more ideas. And usually coupons too.
My parents have a copy of Top 115 Unusual Things to See in Ontario and it had some neat suggestions. The library has 97 copies.
Edit to add: I could probably come up with a dozen more if you want more...
Your list is missing:
I'll came back if I think of any more.
I'm back.
Found some links for it. A guy from work just bought it, definitely going to check it out. :)

I got this great book at Type on Queen a few years back. It has details about all sorts of trails within the city limits, and how to get there and back by transit. Haven't really had a chance to try many of them yet, but you should check it out!
Mon préféré qui m'a présenté le Québec comme société quand j'habite en C.B. c'était Sacre Blues: An Unsentimental Journey Through Quebec
A copy of Souvenir of Canada, by Douglas Coupland. It is a bit like a coffee table book of odd things that define Canadian identity. The photographs are very interesting, like careful, sculptural assemblages of the iconic and quotidian.

Send along a nice gold maple leaf necklace, too.

I know that it's a little over $20 but I think that she would adore these. As a HUGE Studio Ghibli fan I'm tempted to put them in my wish list, but since I already have stuffed animals of them all my fiance would kill me. As for yourself I'm suggesting this. Traveling is the best, but knowing places already makes it so much better!
This: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1892154285/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_1?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=1878425293&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1G7JNECABVV49A6B7854 The Milepost, mile by mile description of what's here and on AK highway through Canada. Worth every penny.
Consider going to Bellingham, WA and taking the Alaska State Ferry ( http://www.dot.state.ak.us/amhs/index.shtml) very much a great deal and excellent way to see some more of Alaska. You'll still have a drive from Haines or Skagway up to Whitehorse and then connect with the Alaska Highway.
No problem. If you want a good book, I suggest this one. My mom found me a copy for my birthday, and I keep it in my Jeep. It lists all the good trails and sights, and you can message me with questions if you have any.

There are books, tripadvisor.ca, collections for each region, Airbnb and all the individual sites.
Some details on your routing might help, are you driving, flying into Calgary etc? People rarely just visit Banff, they will typically visit at minimum Banff and Lake Louise, and likely also take the Icefield Parkway up to Jasper which I would highly recommend.
Banff/Jasper/Lake Louise can be done in a busy week, if you really like hiking or taking it easy you could easily extend it. I would recommend this book for the actual driving, gives a good overview of what you are seeing with viewpoint information, some hikes etc.
I highly recommend the following book: http://www.amazon.com/Exploring-Nova-Scotia-Adventures-Activities/dp/0887809030
It's got a lot of non-tourist advice and general "here's a cool spot" type things. Most of my time in CB has spent going to random spots, so it's hard to give specific advice.
That book goes all over NS so not all of it will be relevant, but compared to the cost of your total trip it's pretty minimal ;-)
You're skipping a bunch of parks, and I don't know if that's intentional.
Do yourself a favor and get a book on the area like Fodor's Pacific Northwest: with Oregon, Washington & Vancouver. And go the park websites, most at nps.gov. I think Reddit is better for answering questions of a smaller scope than helping you plan a 3-week trip over an area the size of the France.
They still do. I took a 2 month cross Canada road trip and used their North American Atlas. Great place to start. Other than that, most GPS work decently as long as you use your common sense. Took me down some really terrible logging roads because it would go by shortest distance, which isn’t always the best route.
Edit: This is the one I used https://www.amazon.ca/Canada-USA-Mexico-Road-Atlas/dp/1553682270
I'm unable to provide you with a specific campsite; however, I would recommend that you checkout the book Camp Free in BC.
I too recommend this book. It also gives some historical and social insights into each neighborhood.
Another book of the same nature, if you don't mind the title, is Toronto Urban Strolls 1: ... for girlfriends (and 2) by Nathalie Prezeau.
Pick up a copy of Canadian Rockies Trail Guide by Brian Patton and Bart Robinson http://www.amazon.ca/Canadian-Rockies-Trail-Guide-Akamina-Kishinena/dp/0919934900
or Don't Waste Your Time in the Rockies by Kathy and Craig Copeland http://www.amazon.ca/Dont-Waste-Your-Canadian-Rockies/dp/0968941974
Both list and describe day and multiple overnight hikes, what makes them interesting etc etc and give plenty of suggestions for outside of Banff and Jasper.
Would Bulgaria have a book store you could visit and purchase a book? Lonely Planet is my fav international guide.
