I think your calculations are incorrect. There is a total of 13 provinces and territories in Canada making it impossible to visit 33% of them, it would either be 31% or 38%.

Buuuut, I don't want to be pickey about small details, I just thought I would point out that you are terribly wrong. Atleast you tried, of course it turned out that you failed miserably. Look on the bright side, if you continue this trend of being extraordinarily wrong people might mistake you for Thomas Gold who is probably pretty famous. Well, I'm just glad that I spotted the mistake and informed you of how poor your math skills are, hopefully you wont make similar mistakes of such a colossal nature in the future.

Dear Larry,

Thanks for the correction. I guess I'm still stuck in that whole 10 provinces 2 territories thing that I had drilled into my head all through school. But you're right, I should know better, and I do know better. I just wasn't thinking.

I have no idea who Thomas Gold is.

Hey, ease up on yourself. It's the school system that messed up! Ad'sdad.

That is very absent minded of you considering that Nunavut occupys the largest portion of canada at 21% of the total land available. In fact, the Northwest Territories which comes in second for largest area occupied only takes up 13% of the total land available in Canada. I can't believe that you neglected to include the largest area in Canada. Imagine how all those Nunavutians feel being completely ignored. Give your head a shake.

yes, but did you know that Nunavut 'means our land' in Inuktitut. And isn't one apology enough for you!
