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.
