RAC has the simple solution but ARRL needs to update some of the rules.
Here is my recent exchange with N1ND.

In some of our contests, where multiplier are ARRL/RAC sections, we use the
Maritime multiplier. In other contests, we use political entities. In
those contests the Maritimes are split into different multipliers.
Thanks and Happy New Years.

I just noticed that ARRL RTTY Roundup counts VO1/2 NF/LB as a single
multiplier!
May I recommend the use of RAC approach by ARRL with Canadian Call Areas,
i.e. VE1-9, VO1, VO2, VY0, VY1 and VY2.
I am aware of Maritime province but many of your countrymen are not :-)
