Don't know if this would be helpful or not.I did a big trip back in 2022 that covered a bunch of Canada and the USA.

Contrary to popular opinion you don't need to travel on a 4 lane road to get across Canada.
The whole idea of a motorcycle trip is to have fun.
You can't beat 2 lane blacktop touring.
The best roads in BC run north - south.
eg. Revelstoke to Creston thru Kaslo New Denver.
If you want the shortest fastest route take a plane.
The winds in southern prairies can make for a tiring ride.
I personally would take a northern route.
Just across the border from ON int MB is Hwy44 that takes you north of Winnipeg.
Cross The Narrows to Dauphin, Prince Albert, Edmonton, Jasper, south to Tran-Canada. Revelstoke,
Creston and on Hwy 3 to the Coast.
Remember in the mountains it only snows the first 12 of the year.
If you want I can supply a genuine Human generated route on roads I have personally ridden.

Some cautions:
Flooding with peaks expected later this week. Residual damage could mean patchy roads. Possible record heights.
I rode across the US Midwest in 2008 and when I heard of cars coming through sections of highway patched with crushed stone damaging windshields, I swung further north.
Accommodation prices aren't bargains and if work crews come in, it could get worse.

One of my (cage) trips 3-4 years ago there was so much roadworks going on there wasn't a hotel/motel room available from Sault Ste. Marie to Kenora.
I slept in the car...
