A province is a territorial unit, almost always an administrative division, within a country or state.

Geology

In geology, the term "province" refers to a specific physiogeographic area that comprises a grouping of like bathymetric or former bathymetric elements (now sedimentary strata above water) whose features are in obvious contrast to the surrounding regions, or other "provinces." The term usually refers to sections or regions of a craton recognized within a given time-stratigraphy, i.e., recognized within a major division of time within a geologic period.

Does the Quebec government involves itself more in the lives of its residents compared to other provinces?
Q. I've heard that living in Quebec, you feel the influence of the Quebec government more than other provinces. It's like they still want to have a small-town feel, only they get involved with things more than the governments of other provinces.

A. There are some aspects where this is true, such as in peoples' names. As an example, there is a panel that can reject any name for newborn children if they feel that it is inappropriate. Mind you, this may not be a bad thing, but it is an example of the government making decisions for people. Another example related to names is the married name for women... well actually, for anyone now that marriage is not limited to a man and a woman in Canada. In Quebec, it is not possible for someone to assume the surname of someone that they have just married - the government does not permit it since 1981.

Which of the atlantic provinces do you think is the best?
Q. I am doing a project on the Atlantic provinces. I was wondering which one you think is the best. I have to do an oral presentation, and I have to name a few fun things to do there too. If you could list a couple of things that are fun there it would also extremely help! It is due tomorrow. Thanks for any advice that you can give me.

A. Before coming here, you should have done your preliminary research, looking up each province for this information. This is pretty easy, given an encyclopedia or a search engine. Please exercise due diligence; we're homework help, not a primary research tool.
