This map clearly shows how St. John's is by far the northernmost provincial capital in the entire country. SignalHillHiker will be delighted

The Sask and Man border isn't a straight line, if you look at it closely. It's jagged due to correction lines.

But why would one look closely?

It's a strange thing to have such an deeply-felt opinion about but I hate the shape of ours, especially the island. So many tattoos and truck stickers and I cringe every time.

I guess Nunavut looks kind of cool.

I don't know which province or territory has the nicest shape, but I can tell you who has the worst: Ontario. It sucks. Try drawing it, it's just nonsense odd angles and wiggly lines. Just a bunch of total bullshit. The only good part is the nice neat part that butts up against Manitoba.

PS - I may be being deliberately provocative here

At least we try and correct our mistakes.

The Saskatchewan/Manitoba border is anything but a straight line, take a closer look to see.

Ontario is shaped like a whale so I voted for here. And yes, we do have whales and I am one of the few people who has seen them here. (And I don't mean Marineland!)

Yes, and Manitoba lost territory because of those correction lines.

What can I say? Us Ontarians have flat butts. There's a reason why we shove our butt up against Manitoba.

Not a single vote for the NWT. When looking at a map of the NWT by itself one would only assume that the shape is due to some odd geography or body of water.... They would be wrong.

Yes! NS tied for second! It turns out that as a province we're actually in pretty good shape.

New-Brunswick and not because it looks like a sheep but because it looks like a miniature North America.
