    We do not have “northern provinces”, those are territories.

    For a less pedantic answer:

    • the territories are administered differently, with much more control from the Federal government
    • they have <120K in population which make statistical data difficult
    • they have very unique sociocultural circumstances (remoteness, high percentage of Inuit people, many “fly in” industries, etc) that make them hard to compare to the rest of Canada.
