Where was the first representative assembly elected?

  1. Halifax

  2. Quebec City

  3. Toronto

  4. Vancouver

The correct answer is: Halifax

The others options are incorrect because during the early years of Canada's history, Halifax was the political and cultural center of the British colonies in North America. Quebec City was the capital of New France before British conquest and Toronto and Vancouver were not founded until later in history. Therefore, they were not possible locations for the first representative assembly to be elected.
