As somebody that doesn't quite understand the difference between a province and a territory, can you explain?

Provinces have powers outlined in the constitution. Territories don't. Territories are to the Federal government similar to what municipalities are to the Provincial government. A Province can dissolve a municipal government, merge them, create new ones, and the Federal government can do the same kinds of things with Territories.

Provinces have more autonomy and more representation in the Federal government, is the gist of it.
