Cathy,
You might have to help me out a little bit with that one. (I did some snooping online)
BTW Glen from Baie-St. Paul, Quebec is a buddy of mine, we joined the same day. (Thanks to Glen finding Steve Frederick's website, which led us here)
So that makes four, with six more to go, right?
Winnipeg,MB Canada is Manitoba, right?
So that makes five, with five more to go, right?

3. Manitoba
4. Ontario
5. Quebec

Cathy,
You'll have to help me out with that one. I don't know all the Provinces.

1. Nova Scotia
2. New Brunswick
3.Saskatchewan
4.Yukon Territories?
5.???

I should make you do some homework

Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Saskatchewan, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland are the 5 other provinces. There are also 3 territories, Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavet.

[Guest]

You caught me before I finished my homework!
Now I'm embarrassed. (That was just like getting caught with my hand in the cookie jar)

OK,
So Nanavat (Nanavet) is still a territory?
(A kids online quiz thing said it became a Province in 1999)
I can't believe that I didn't think of Northwest Territories.
Are we going to add the territories to the mix or leave them out?
BTW I found two members that just listed Canada, no Province. (whisper 6-posts, but no mention of Province and murray gardiner 0-posts, but does have an email address)

Dean, make that Nunavut, just checked the spelling. It is listed as Canada's newest territory.

Very good Dean, I'm impressed

I would be inclined to count the territories as a bonus if there are any people here. Not sure how much teardrop camping they would do up there.

Nunavet became a territory in 1999. Originally it was part of the Northwest Territories.

Thanks Norm,
I was trying to educate myself on the fly last night and got busted before I could fill in all the blanks.
Here is where we stand;

U.S. States with no members
Hawaii
Maine
Mississippi
West Virginia
Wyoming

Canadian Provinces with no members
New Brunswick (in honor of King George, whose family came from the House of Brunswick)
Newfoundland & Labrador (new found launde)
Nova Scotia (new scotland)
Prince Edward Island (in honor of Prince Edward, father of Queen Victoria)
Saskatchewan (swift-flowing river)

Canadian Territories with no members (Winter Warrior Candidates)
Northwest Territories (geographic)
Nunavut Territory (our land)
Yukon Territory (great river)


...and in case anyone is wondering what the meanings are for the Provinces with members;
Alberta (in honor of the daughter of Queen Victoria)
British Columbia (began as a British colony and for the Columbia River)
Manitoba (lake of the prairie & place of the Great Spirit)
Ontario (beautiful lake or sparkling water)
Quebec (narrow passage)

If I had a nickel for everytime my Canadian cousins said, "You don't know the provences? We had to learn the US states in grade school."

But that's OK, They say things like "about" and "sorry" funny so I get to make fun of them a-boat that Ehh? (sp?)
