Question

What would the capital city of Canada be if the capital city of the USA were the capital of Canada?

Answer 1

Answer:

Ottawa. Canada's capital is also the second-largest city in Ontario with a regional population of close to 1.5 million people. Queen Victoria chose Ottawa as Canada's capital in 1857 as it was a defensible location situated on the border between Quebec and Ontario – the two provinces making up the country at the time.

Answer 2

• For many people, Ottawa, Canada’s capital city, is synonymous with Canadian government structures.
• In fact, nearly half of all Canadians (49%) believe that the capital is located in Ottawa (IBM Corporation, 2014).  
• While Ottawa has many claims to fame, including the Rideau Canal and the Ottawa-Gatineau International Airport, for many the true claim to fame is that of the National Capital’s institutions: The Parliament Buildings and the Supreme Court.
• By changing the name to a completely different word and making it sound like a totally new country, the government of Canada could change the perception that Canada is its own country and make Canadians feel more pride about their country.
• Windsor, Ontario would be the capital city of Canada, as the Canadian census would confirm.  
• But when it comes to terms of political sovereignty, the USA would be the capital, since Canada is a territory of the USA.
• If the capital of Canada were also the capital of the USA, the capital city of Canada would be Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
