American? That's no excuse! :P But it's good to see that you're interested. To drive from Bangor, Maine, to Edmonton is about 2070 miles as the crow flies!
So, I'd probably stick to the Maritime provinces if distance is a concern. Newfoundland is a definite hidden treasure if you can make it out there. I've been all up the west coast, and it's beautiful! There's a national park there (Gros Morne) and if you're up for a big trip, at the very northernmost tip (about a 4 hour trip) you'll find L'Anse Aux Meadows, which is the site of the first Viking settlement in North America. Prince Edward Island is really famous for its red sand beaches... and Anne of Green Gables (if you've ever read the book). Nova Scotia has beautiful scenery (you can drive along the Cabot Trail, which is a scenic road). Then there's also New Brunswick.
If you're up for a bit more of a trip, there's always Quebec. Montreal is a really neat city. Lots of history, and great nightlife! Also, if you're 18, that's the drinking age there :P
Further west is Ontario (where I'm from). I live in Toronto, the biggest city in Canada. There's the CN Tower (was once the tallest free-standing building in the world), Canada's Wonderland (amusement park), the Royal Ontario Museum, the Art Gallery of Ontario. Toronto is very multicultural. If you can make it during Caribana, that's really cool!
I'd skip the prairie provinces if I were you. Other than the West Edmonton Mall, there's not much to see out there other than farms, farms, and more farms.
I'm working in B.C. right now. Amazing province. If you're into skiing, snowboarding, hiking, or mountain biking, the mountains are great! There's Vancouver, which is a great city... it's actually a great place to go celeb-watching, since it's known as "Hollywood North". However, it's quite a trip out here... I had a 5 hour flight from Ontario.
Well, without knowing exactly where you're going, it's a little tough to suggest things. But I hope I gave you a decent idea as to what there is to see.
By the way, Maine is one of my favourite states! My family camped at Acadia National Park for years.
