Joel: we can probably dispense with the "CAN" designation for the Canadian provinces. I pity the bus whose owner doesn't know the short-form terms for the provinces and territories.... But just in case some do not know, they are: ALB -Alberta; (say it with me) BC- British Columbia; NB -New Brunswick; NS- Nova Scotia; ONT - Ontario - SAS - Saskatchewan; PQ - Quebec; NEWF - Newfoundland; NWT - North West Territories; YUK - Yukon; PEI - Prince Edward Island (Phonetic pronunciations available upon request).
