=========================================

New Brunswick and Nova Scotia were original Canadian provinces. They existed as colonies prior to Confederation. They were not "created" as new provinces.

In terms of area, Quebec is the biggest province. Ontario has the largest population.

Quebec is now #2 in geographic size. Newly created Nunavut is now the largest and covers the northern region. (This is not true since Nunavut is a Territory not a Province. The way the question is worded, Quebec is still the largest Province in Canada with respect to land mass.)

In terms of land mass, Quebec is the largest with 1.5 million square kms - about 15% of Canada's total.

Ontario is the largest in terms of population. Over 13 million people live in Ontario, about one third of the country's population.
