Canada's territories are just like the US territories before they became states. They have a managerment appointed by the Federal government and no say in what happens in ways that provinces or states do

What is the difference in territories and provinces?

There are many. Territories are colonies where the major decisions are made by the mother country, Canada. They are allowed some local autonomy but for example do not own their resources like Provinces do and at the end of the day must answer to the Federal Government. Each have a seat in the house even though they do not have a population larger than Western riding's which gives them the more power per vote but that only matters under rare, but important, conditions. Territories are not members of the Confederation like provinces. They could not for example leave the Confederation as other provinces could and could find themselves being traded away by Canada. Of course we would hope that Canada would learn from the past and at least allow them to vote on it. Territories have very large support from the Federal government and receive more services for their tax dollars than provinces.


What is difference between a Canada territory and a province?

"The provinces and territories of Canada combine to make up the world's second largest country. The major difference between a Canadian province and a territory is that provinces are jurisdictions that receive their power and authority directly from the Constitution Act, 1867, whereas territories derive their mandates and powers from the federal government."


Why do some Canadians feel more loyal to their province than their government?

Canada is a federal state divided into ten provinces and three territories. Because Canada is such a gigantic country with such widely dispersed populations, Canada's Provinces all have strong regional values and identities, and in some ways almost function as mini-countries within the larger Canadian Confederation.
