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.

Makes so much more sense now I had to Google them because thought he'd made them up . Didn't realise it was just New Jersey's team renamed.

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 . Can understand why @Grizzly21 would say people need to understand what a Canadian Territory is, not Canada itself. Did you honestly know the difference between between the two in Canada though? You did the smart play and just went with a city in Alaska.

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

My first read of the question though had me thinking Vancouver but then I noticed the territories reference.
Harry Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 P.s I don't know how do many people knew of Dutch colonies in the Caribbean....!

They make a big deal out of their Providences, just wasn't aware of the territories factor.
