province or territory of Canada
Let an agent explain the category of Canadian province or territory, relay the difference between provinces and territories and their place in Canada s federation from reference sources, and distinguish the category from a single named province and from municipalities.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain the category of Canadian province or territory, relay the difference between provinces and territories and their place in Canada s federation from reference sources, and distinguish the category from a single named province and from municipalities.
A province or territory of Canada is a first-level administrative division of that country; Canada is made up of provinces, which draw their powers from the constitution, and territories, which are governed under federal authority, and the registry alias names the territory type. The two differ in how they get their powers, and the category covers the general type rather than one named province or territory.
What it is for: Serving as a first-level division of Canada.
It can be explain the category; relay province versus territory; relay their place in the federation; distinguish it from named units.
