American here: I don't get it. Is the traffic really bad? The weather? Why is a 13 hour drive so bad?

If you want to stop along the way, sure. If you are just doing it direct, you're insane.

Well, like, that's a bit far for a single day drive, but not out of bounds. Particularly if you have two drivers and can switch, it seems pretty normal?

Fair enough but after renting a car and paying for fuel you might as well just fly and then you don't lose a whole day.

Canadian here. That’s pretty par for the course in western Canada. Edmonton to Vancouver (the capitol victoria is a further 1hr drive with 1.5 hr ferry) is a 12hr drive. 2 fuel pitstops for humans and the car. Easily doable.
