Factual accuracy review: No recorded challenge

No recorded challenge is not proof of accuracy. A challenge under review is not a finding that the record is false.

Each of Canada’s ten provinces and three territories has its own capital. Ottawa is the national capital; Victoria is British Columbia’s capital, Québec City is Quebec’s, and Toronto is Ontario’s.
