I didn't know what that was but I assumed they were like the territories we have in Australia... northern territory and Australian capital territory... Weird places that aren't states that nobody goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the name of a territory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toronto is in the province of Ontario though - not in one of Canadian territories. Canadian territories = Nunavut, Yukon, and Nortwest Territories.

It's partially a joke, because I have never distinguished between the words province and territories in Canada. I have to travel to Toronto and Montreal quite often, but have never been told a difference. Doesn't matter, still got a handful of points. 3 minutes ago, Stan said: I thought it was fairly easy to understand .

You did the smart play and just went with a city in Alaska. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wanted a city in Canada, I guess that would have been said as the category. The fact he's said Canadian Territory, I figured it's not going to be as obvious as a city in Canada and the more obscure regions away from the mainland. And as I don't know any cities in those Canadian territories, I took the easier (or smarter perhaps) option of knowing a city in Alaska Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first read of the question though had me thinking Vancouver but then I noticed the territories reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
