Ottawa shouldnt be the capital of Canada, it has nothing to do with education level.

Why not?

Albany is the capital of New York, and not New York City.

Sacramento is the capital of California, and not Los Angeles

American education

Not knowing what Canada's capital is has everything to do with education level

Most states have their capitals in irrelevant towns because administrators didn't want the business of big cities to override state politics
also ease of travel for earlier states

>Ottawa is the capital of Canada and not Toronto
>Canberra is the capital of Australia and not Sydney
>Wellington is the capital of NZ and not Auckland

why is Washington DC the capital of the US? NYC is bigger and more important.

Almost every US state capital is not the most important city.

Washington? Nop, not Seattle. It's Olympia.

California? Not Los Angeles, it's Sacramento.

Texas? It's Austin not Dallas or Houston.

How about Montana? It ain't Missoula it's Helena.

Oregon's capital is Salem.

The seat of the Dutch government, parliament and supreme court is actually The Hague while Amsterdam is merely the place of royal inauguration.

Most aren't but I wouldn't call 2/3 "almost every"

Amsterdam is also the constitutional capital.

Ottawa was only made capital because its between Toronto and Montreal.
