I am posting this information FWIW. It is a response from the developer of
CT.
"Unlike TR and NA, CT is defining 13 Canadian multipliers corresponding to
the Canadian Provinces. It uses the official Canadian postal abbreviations,
Labrador and Newfoundland are one mult, abbreviation NL.
Alberta AB
British Columbia BC
Manitoba MB
New Brunswick NB
Newfoundland and Labrador NL
Northwest Territories NT
Nova Scotia NS
Nunavut NU
Ontario ON
Prince Edward Island PE
Quebec QC
Saskatchewan SK
Yukon YT
It also allows aliases, as CT has always done. DEL means DE, PEI means PE.
If CT can't come up with a state or province based on the typed input, you
can't log it. As a service to the operator, it allows the Canadian prefix in
the state/province field because the prefix usually determines the province:
NL: NL, NF, LB, LAB, VO1, VO2; VE_1
NS: NS, VE1; VE_1
QC: QC, PQ, QU, VE2; VE_1
ON: ON, ONT, VE3; VE_1
MB: MB, MAN, VE4; VE_1
SK: SK, SA, VE5; VE_1
AB: AB, ALT, ALB, VE6; VE_1
BC: BC, VE7; VE_2
NT: NT, NWT, VE8; VE_2
NB: NB, VE9; VE_2
NU: NU, NUN, VY0; VE_2
YT: YT, YUK, VY1; VE_2
PE: PE, PEI, VY2; VE_2
As a service to the log checkers, it converts the aliases to the correct
abbreviations when building the Cabrillo file. PAC becomes HI, LAB becomes
NL and so on. Some users may complain that the Cabrillo file doesn't contain
the data actually copied, just the "corrected" data. Sorry."

If it isn't LOGic, then it isn't LOGging
