It would be, if you drove yourself. Public transportation blows.
It's 940 miles from Toronto to Minneapolis; the route would have you cut down through Chicago, and then back north toward the Twin Cities. 940 miles, at a ballpark average of 75 mph is 12 1/2 hours of driving.

I've made drives that long or longer at least 3x in my life. It's really not that bad.

To Charleston, SC and back, just because (vaca). And from Seattle to New York City (post-9/11, couldn't get a flight).

Yeah, I did that from Philly to Daytona once. Since I was with friends it was a lot of fun. It took us about 14 hours straight.

Oh man, that's about as long a drive as it gets. How long did that take? So you rented a car and everything? Were you alone the whole time?

Seattle -> New York took 54 hours, though we stopped in Chicago for 4 hours, and went through 3 time zone changes, so really, it took 47 hours of actual driving. We hauled ass, and no, it was myself & 2 others, driving/riding shotgun/sleeping in 6-hour increments. Though I did drive straight from Chicago to NYC by myself (13 hours or so), b/c the other guy was an awful driver and I thought he'd kill me. 
Ate an awful lot of trucker speed in those 2 days, I did.

We drive 24 hours every summer to St. Peters, Nova Scotia, to my grandparents cottage. 12 wouldn't be that bad.

I get a kick out of long drives.
myself and 3 others went from here in maryland to Colorado, that wasn't so bad, longest amount of driving myself was 6 straight hours, 25 hour drive total, I think?
I've done the 22 hour trip to Texas (and then back again) a few times now. Always a straight shot, 2 11 hour drives. One of these days I'd like to do that and actually stop at places along the way, like memphis.... dunno if that'll ever happen though.. sigh
the first 5 hours are rough, then my ass goes numb and its smooth sailing from there.

Yea, I plan on going on a 4 state command and conquer road trip with Denver being the main event destination. Arizona, New Mexico, Utah being the other 3. I hear Boulder is a big party town? Or was it big druggy town? My memory escapes me.

it was a completely welcome sight after treking across Kansas and all those other seriously boring states between St Louis and there (gateway arch? more like gateway arch to crap am i right).. Colorado was when things started getting lively again.
I only spent 3 days there before turning around to come back (went to see King Crimson and Tool at Red Rocks).. but I dug the area, saw lots of organic stores, hippies, those kinds of neat things.. and ominous mountains make any kind of scenery better. Great place to visit.
I bet living there would be boring as hell though. It gave off that vibe.
I wanted to visit one of the many ghost towns they have on the map, drive up pikes peak, etc... but didn't have the time. Took a day driving through the mountains though, that part RULED
