General notes: most of these proposals are non-existent today, however Northern Ontario, Labrador, Vancouver Island, Bermuda, Turks and Caicos, Nunavik and Nunatsiavut are all serious contenders for new Canadian provinces today. Buffalo was a planned province that was replaced with Alberta and Saskatchewan. Kanienkehaka would have either become a province or an independent country if Quebec succeeded from Canada and would have been for the Mohawk people. Belize would have been a part of a West Indies province, but I could not show it on the map due to limited space. Also, Nunavik and Nunatsiavut are Inuit majority areas that would be territories much like Nunavut. This was a fun quiz to make, I hope you enjoyed it!

This is amazing and so interesting (though Jamaica is just plain weird). A couple of more minutes would help, but I still nominate this one for a star.

Thanks! There was talk of Jamaica joining Canada, but that was long before it's independence, when various North American colonies were joining newly independent Canada. Also, I added two minutes.

I know it’s sort of hard to include since all of it’s territory is now part of some other province/territory, but why was the Keewatin District not included?

Keewatin was a territory from 1876-1905, before it was returned to the Northwest Territory. Since it is a former territory and not a proposed territory it isn't eligible to join the quiz. Thanks for asking!

This is super interesting. I wish I could see an explanation for every one that you have added. Also, you could include Red River as a proposed province. I believe that was put forward by the Metis Provisional Government. Yes, it did become Manitoba, but I believe the original proposition was for it to be called Red River. I might be wrong...

If you want a detailed explanation for (most of these), there is a very comprehensive Wikipedia article which explains the history behind some of these. When I first made the quiz, the article was more or less the same as my source map, but the Wikipedia article changed over time.

None of these movements are exactly active today, with the exception of increased Indigenous self-governance. As for Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean I believe it was separated due to cultural differences from the southern regions of Quebec.

I believe the Red River represented a colony of Britain, and Manitoba was the propsosed province as a solution to the rebellion (although I slept through some of my Canadian history classes, I could be mistaken).

Is that......Jamaica?

Also I'd love to have a quiz where you guess the answers, rather than click them

You exposed the Canadian plan to invade somewhere warm and force them to drink Tim Hortons :)

I agree that fill-in-the-answer is typically better than click quizzes. One reason I haven't done that with this quiz is that many names are difficult to type like Kanienkehaka, and other names like National Capital and Sagamie are merely proposed by the person who made the original map.

True, I'd probably play it religiously because I love quizzes like that

I'd also love more of these "Proposed states" quizzes for different countries (if any more info exists) I would be an avengers level threat if i knew how to make a custom svg.

Another fun idea could be a flag version, where you have to guess the flag of each new 'province'.

There's a Wikipedia page detailing proposed states, provinces and voivodeships in the US, Australia, India, Canada and Poland, it's a very interesting read, although some of the proposals are a little outlandish.

Australia

This is more on the original map to be honest, but I'm having a bit of trouble finding any sources referring to either Sagamie or Saguenay as a proposed province, serious or unserious. Have you had any better luck?

Honestly, no. Not in French nor English. I know that the region has a distinct culture and regional identity compared to the rest of Quebec but I can't find any reference to succession, and I'm curious where the original map creators got this from.
