“Canada province”. Just say the name of the province.

It sounds like a medieval person talking to someone during their travels. "I come from Canada province."

This story comes from a newswire, specifically Agence France-Presse. I doubt anyone outside of Canada or the U.S. could name like 2 Canadian provinces or even know what British Columbia is.

The BBC (and other European news agencies) do stuff like this too for Canada all the time. It's bizarre as a Canadian, but understandable why.

"What difference does it make? It's only a car ride away from Toronto" someone from England, probably.
