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.

8/13 - not bad for an 11-year old Brit. I would have got 9 if i hadn't put Charlottestown by accident instead of Charlottetown.

I put Charlotteville

May 26, 2021
I tried Charlotteville, Charlottesville, Charlotte City, Charlotte's City, Charlotte and Charlottestown before I finally got it correct.

This was especially weird because I have a friend named Charlotte

Saint John is in NB, St. John's is in NL. St. John =/= St. John's.

+1. It accepts St John (which is New Brunswick's major city) for St John's (which is Newfoundland & Labrador capital).
+2

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.

It took a long time to spell Iqaluit right. I know, I know, but it was easier to spell when it was Frobisher Bay.

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.

Yes, but the territories are always included in a Canada map, unlike Puerto Rico. They also have a different position in governance.

I just want everyone to know I put Yellowknife first and I was so psyched to do it. Things went a bit south after that. 7/13. Was really sure Saskatoon is the capital of Saskatchewan. D'oh.

Canadian (obviously) - Had the fortune to visit all of these except Iqaluit and Whitehorse. They all have their charms, but being a Maritimer (read. Person from the Atlantic provinces of Canada), my favorite Canadian city will always be Halifax. IMO there is no better place to spend the oh too short Canadian summer than exploring the country's east coast.

Least favorite = Winnipeg...Sorry Manitobans, you're nice people, but I just don't like the Peg. It's either colder than a witches tit, or ground zero for the blackfly-pocalypse.

Well, I remember some biting black flies for a couple of weeks in 2004. Other than that, you might be thinking of mosquitos?

May 26, 2021
Maybe I just had bad luck then, was there back in 2009 in late May (I think) and remember being absolutely swarmed by the buggers.

I also remember reading a BBC article once that on some day in January back around 2014, Winnipeg was colder than Mars...I visited in Feb once, I have also been to Yellowknife in January...Winnipeg was colder.

Biting black flies definitely have a season on the lakes. In the city though, they're very rare.

Yukon, Nunavut, Northwest Territories.

You know what needs to be done.

Not just province capitals, but also the territories means the title is wrong.
