The following Canadian letters have a distinct property in common. Can you tell what it is?

From the above set, a further breakdown into two groups is possible. The first group contains the letters a, c, and g, while the second group contains the rest. The separating factor is related to the common property that all the letters share. Can you get that too?

Since there are thirteen "Canadian" letters listed in the puzzle, perhaps they have to do with the 13 Canadian provinces and territories. The letters a, c, and g might pertain to each of the three territories, with the other letters referring to the ten provinces. I already tried the names of the provinces and their capitol cities to no avail, but there still might be a connection here.
