Confront a rioter besieging part of Canada (7)
I believe the answer is:
ontario
'canada' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'confront a rioter besieging part' is the wordplay.
'part' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'ONTARIO' can be found hidden inside 'confront a rioter besieging'.
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ontario that I've seen before include "city" , "One of the Great Lakes" , "Province of SE Canada, and a Great Lake" , "part of Canada" , "Province of central Canada" .)
