13/13, but I'm not Canadian. I wanted to visit every capital on a Canada road trip in 2014, which of course is impossible since Iqaluit can't be driven to - but my Plan B (to fly there) was killed off by the horrific airfare, over $2,000 for the return flight from Montreal. So only Iqaluit, Yellowknife and St Johns left to visit (he said, leaving the hardest ones for last :) )
That's a very ambitious plan. Yet you did make it to Whitehorse, that has to be worth something. Iqaluit, or Baffin Island as a whole, seems rather interesting. And 11/13 - had never heard of Fredericton before.
That sounds like an amazing plan! Iqaluit may be very remote, but if you can you should definitely visit it, as it is culturally very different from the rest ode Canada. St. John's is also very beautiful, as I've heard.
When our younger daughter was in high school we were playing trivia with her new boyfriend. The question came up about the name of the plane that dropped the bomb on Hiroshima. He had a blank look so we explained a bit further and he said, "We fought a war with Japan?"
iqaluit is new-ish, and it was a big deal when we created a new territory. So a lot of people remember it, plus it has a weird name and weird names are easier to remember. In addition, the maritime provinces seem to get pushed to the side as it were, at least in my experience anyway. I nearly forgot Fredricton myself, it was the last one I got.
Technically, Saint John (NB) is spelt with a full 'Saint'. St. John's (NL) is spelt with the abbreviated 'St'. Not sure why they'd accept Saint John, NB.
Yukon, Northwest territories and Nunavut aren't provinces, but territories. The title of the quiz should be : Capitals of Canadian Provinces and Territories
Just being nitpicky, but the territories aren't provinces. It'd be like having Puerto Rico in a state capital quiz without any qualifiers. You know, for people who don't know it's not a territory.
