Driving from BC to NS?

I'm planning on driving from Vancouver to Halifax this summer. While waiting in secondary waiting to enter the US last week, I met a guy who said it took him two weeks to drive across the country - is that more realistic than my plan of one week ?

(My initial route plan, doing it with about 10-12 hours drive per day, is:

Vancouver - Golden

Golden - Regina

Regina - Dryden

Dryden - Kapuskasing

Kapuskasing - Montreal

Montreal - Halifax

Am I massively underestimating the distances / timing?)

I94 for *every* entry?

I live in Vancouver, BC, occasionally visit friends in Seattle, WA, driving across the border. I'm entering under the visa waiver program.

Do I need to pay $30 for an I94 every single time, or is there a time period within which the I94 is valid for multiple crossings?

I can't see anything that clarifies this on the DHS website (only a cursory look, mind) and a random person I was talking to while waiting in the secondary inspection line this weekend told me that I only need a new I94 every six months, but I'd like to see if others have experience of this.

Fork upgrade for a Norco Torrent?

I'm running the stock RS 35 on there. Thoughts on changing to a brand new 2022 Marzocchi Z1 (it's up for auction right now, could get it for $100) ... or a 2025 Lyrik, for $200?

(Knolly went bankrupt a month ago and are auctioning everything off in Vancouver. I feel bad that they're going out of business, but on the other hand, every sale covers some of their debts, right?)

Lays FIFA special flavour: bacon poutine

First time seeing this limited edition series for World Cup. At a Dollarama in Toronto they had cheese soufflé representing France and bacon poutine for Canada. So it was my patriotic duty to get a bag of bacon poutine. Pretty good. Strong smoky bacon flavour upfront. Very similar to Hickory Sticks. Then a good amount of cheese comes through. Then a background savouriness hits with hints of onion that provides the gravy note. Would definitely get again.

Has anyone spotted/tried other World Cup flavours? Googling the other flavours I want to try Polish kielbasa, English fish n chips, and Argentina chimichurri steak.
