I think the most interesting provinces are

Quebec
British Columbia
Alberta (just because of the Rocky Mountains)

The least interesting let's see (I don't buy this "all provinces are interesting in their own way" kind of meaningless talk)

Manitoba
Sask
Entire northern Ontario (I always think it should merge with Manitoba)
New Brunswick

I probably will never visit these places.

"All provinces are interesting in their own way" is only meaningless if you refuse to acknowledge that other people have interests that are different from yours. This is one of those threads where nobody can actually be wrong, because there's no factual basis for any arguments.

For example - Saskatchewan is among the most interesting and prominent provinces in terms of dinosaurs, sportfishing and western history. If you don't like those things, then it's probably pretty boring. If you do, it's probably a pretty exciting destination.

Saskatchewan makes me swoon. I think Manitoba is definitely more boring than Saskatchewan.

Yes, the Acadian accent is quite different from the main Québécois accent. Although in the border areas of Quebec-New Brunswick the accents are a bit of a mix of the two sometimes.

Most interesting:
#1: Ontario (Lakes, Forests, parks and beautiful coastal beach feel)
#2: British Columbia (Ocean and mountains are nice scenery)
#3: Alberta (The Rockies)
#4: Quebec (Amazing culture and character)
#5: Manitoba (Very cool prairie and lake mix with a lot of trees and parks)
#5: Atlantic Canada (Cool sights near the ocean)
#6: Saskatchewan (Just plain prairie)

I'm sure some people may find the prairies interesting who come from a coatal area but I'm just used to it too much. Ontario for me has the most interesting scenery and is the most interesting province with so many cities and parks all around a beachy and coastal feel.

I love New Brunswick! ( I live here, in Fredericton) Say what you will, but it's home I find Saint John great! Filled with history and great Atlantic port lifestyle.

New brunswick is boring seriously, i think new brunswick is probably the most underrated part of the country, it`s the only billingual provience, it has a good number of mid sized towns and cities, and has pretty balanced weather compared to the rest of the country.


I think this is hands down sask`s claim to fame not only the most boring place in canada but probably the whole world.

I think Atlantic Canada should just be formed into one province lol It would be much easier than trying to distinguish all of them but then again, I don't really know enough of the history of the provinces. Newfoundland seems like a nice relaxed and interesting province.
