>Why TEMP?
First of all, although the Yukon Territories and Northwest Territories
are very large geographically, there really aren't a lot of people there.
Also, the Inuit don't have a lot of telephones. I'm sure that as the
area becomes more populated (maybe a long time from now), they will get
their own areacode.
In reality,
Only Yukon T, and the District of McKenzie in the NWT
share an areacode with Alberta (403).
The District of Kewatin and Resolute Bay in the NWT share
an areacode with the Sherbrooke, Quebec region (819)
I would imagine that Northwestern Canada receives its services from
Alberta, while Northeaster Canada receives its services from
Eastern Canada.
