13/13, but I'm not Canadian. I wanted to visit every capital on a Canada road trip in 2014, which of course is impossible since Iqaluit can't be driven to - but my Plan B (to fly there) was killed off by the horrific airfare, over $2,000 for the return flight from Montreal. So only Iqaluit, Yellowknife and St Johns left to visit (he said, leaving the hardest ones for last :) )
That's a very ambitious plan. Yet you did make it to Whitehorse, that has to be worth something. Iqaluit, or Baffin Island as a whole, seems rather interesting. And 11/13 - had never heard of Fredericton before.
That sounds like an amazing plan! Iqaluit may be very remote, but if you can you should definitely visit it, as it is culturally very different from the rest ode Canada. St. John's is also very beautiful, as I've heard.
Technically, Saint John (NB) is spelt with a full 'Saint'. St. John's (NL) is spelt with the abbreviated 'St'. Not sure why they'd accept Saint John, NB.
Yukon, Northwest territories and Nunavut aren't provinces, but territories. The title of the quiz should be : Capitals of Canadian Provinces and Territories
Just being nitpicky, but the territories aren't provinces. It'd be like having Puerto Rico in a state capital quiz without any qualifiers. You know, for people who don't know it's not a territory.
I just want everyone to know I put Yellowknife first and I was so psyched to do it. Things went a bit south after that. 7/13. Was really sure Saskatoon is the capital of Saskatchewan. D'oh.
Canadian (obviously) - Had the fortune to visit all of these except Iqaluit and Whitehorse. They all have their charms, but being a Maritimer (read. Person from the Atlantic provinces of Canada), my favorite Canadian city will always be Halifax. IMO there is no better place to spend the oh too short Canadian summer than exploring the country's east coast.
Least favorite = Winnipeg...Sorry Manitobans, you're nice people, but I just don't like the Peg. It's either colder than a witches tit, or ground zero for the blackfly-pocalypse.
Maybe I just had bad luck then, was there back in 2009 in late May (I think) and remember being absolutely swarmed by the buggers.
I also remember reading a BBC article once that on some day in January back around 2014, Winnipeg was colder than Mars...I visited in Feb once, I have also been to Yellowknife in January...Winnipeg was colder.
This was especially weird because I have a friend named Charlotte
"Ragina"
?

{it does have knife in its name}
You know what needs to be done.
Not just province capitals, but also the territories means the title is wrong.
