Why Northwest Territories might be annoying:

    The Sun never sets in the summer.
    Roaming bears pose a major threat to residents and tourists.
    Many people die or sustain injuries from attempts to cross ice.
    Most people choose to only live in the Mackenzie River Valley section.
    Too much of the land is tundra which doesn't provide easy human dwelling settling.

Why Northwest Territories might not be annoying:
