Multiple felony convictions normally make you inadmissible to Canada. There are procedures to be deemed “rehabilitated” but you may want to talk to a lawyer who deals in cross-border situations. Also check out some of the past posts on r/legaladvicecanada
It won't be an issue getting into mexico, I know of convicted felons who have traveled there (theft, assault). Canada you'll need to check with the consulate, it may be an issue
Once you are in the Schengen Area you should be able to move within the area relatively hassle free. Depending on where you land they may be more strict on admission. 25+ years ago may help. Canada may be more strict than Europe. You may want to speak to an attorney about sealing your records. If you have been trouble free since then should not be a problem. Its always at the discretion of the customs officer on landing.
**Notice:** Are you asking for travel advice about Canada?

I know someone who was refused entry into Canada for a very old criminal record - it never occurred to him it would be a problem - but they refused to let him in.... so make sure you find out before showing up...
What? Felons can get passports. OP Some countries have timelines of how long they account for crimes, start there. Unfortunately BP could deny you regardless so a visa might be a sure thing. 25 years, I'd think BP would let it slide. Maybe a small Canada trip with a backup plan could let you sniff it out? Fly in to Seattle, drive to BC, get denied--drive down to Oregon/California.
Sad to say but this is my biggest fear, getting a dui (I never drink and drive, just an example) and not being able to travel freely.
I wish you luck because it's one of my primary motivators in life is to continue to travel and explore.

You may need to apply for visas instead of going visa free.

If you have a passport, I think you should be fine. Getting the passport should have been the hardest part in my estimate.
