1. No Yukon?
Although, with the recently discovered diamond mines in Yellowknife, I can see why you'd keep it.

15. Or is it Saint John's?
Whose idea was it to have both a Saint John and a Saint John's? I think you could do without one of them.

17. Here
Saint John - is New Brunswick

St. John's - Is Newfoundland

I have no idea why they did that... however St John's is supposedly the oldest North American city

9. I voted for Saskatchewan
If I never have to drive through it again, it will be too soon. But really I'd choose one of the territories. How about the new one - it's too hard to spell.

16. Does Saskatchewan really exist?
Edited on Fri Mar-25-05 01:43 PM by Bill McBlueState
I thought it was just a slang term for whatever land was left over after they settled on the rest of the provincial boundaries.

Sort of like Canadian for "Wyoming."

14. I would either vote off Quebec or Alberta
Although I have been to Quebec and liked it there, I found many of the native Quebecois to be standoffish and somewhat rude.

22. I chose Alberta because I cannot have my beloved Quebec voted off!
Edited on Fri Mar-25-05 03:05 PM by JVS
Unless by voted off, you mean at last released from the yoke of Anglophone pig-dog oppression!
