	Provinces and territories of Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The major difference between a Canadian province and a territory is that a province is a creation of the Constitution Act, while a territory is created by federal law.
		Provinces have a great deal of power relative to the federal government, with jurisdiction over health care, education, welfare, transportation (intra-provincial), and the like.
		In most provinces, the single house of the legislature is known as the Legislative Assembly except in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador, where it is called the House of Assembly, and Quebec where it is called the National Assembly.

	CUPE tells Goodale: quit starving the provinces (Canadian Union of Public Employees)
		All four of these example provinces (as well as others) are responding to their fiscal pressures and the inadequacies of the equalization system by cutting public services, reducing public sector jobs and targeting public sector wages.

	ABC News: Canadian provinces can sue Big Tobacco--high court (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		The Supreme Court of Canada on Thursday unanimously upheld the right of provinces to sue the tobacco industry for the health costs of smoking, clearing the way for claims that could total C$80 billion.
		But because Canadian provinces pay for health-care costs of all residents, not just those of the poor and elderly as is the case in the United States, there is the potential for higher per capita claims.
		The court rejected the tobacco firms' arguments that the British Columbia law might unfairly cover the costs of smoking diseases contracted outside the province and that it violated judicial independence and the general rule of law.
