Does Canada have a national Chess competition where the Provinces compete?

Question

If Not, I have an idea.

We have 8 evenly matched Chess Teams

1) Newfoundland & Labrador

2) Nova Scotia

3) Prince Edward Island & New Brunswick

4) Quebec

5) Ontario

6) Manitoba & Saskatchewan

7) Alberta & British Columbia

8) The Territories & Nunavut

First 1) plays 8). 2) plays 7) 3) plays 6), and so on....

For each team, the residents of the corresponding province elects 4 Expert Chess Players.

For each move in each game, the 4 expert chess players select independent options such as (move the knight 2 spaces, attack the queen, take out rook, etc)

Then an audience show of hands, votes which move to make.

The Champion province(s) for the whole tournament gets grant money to their provincial government from Ottawa.

Would this not be fun and ultimately Democratic???
