The official definition for the word confederation is "an organization that consists of a number of parties or groups united in an alliance or league." hi jaquan

------------------------------------------

In the case of Canada that Confederation is a organisation of various former British colonies, Canadian Colonies (both former and present) and Aboriginal groups united to defend Canada against U.S aggression.

Since Canada has handed over military control (or "joint" control) of Canada to the U.S. and just recently control (or "joint" control) of their borders and has integrated their economy with the U.S. via various trade agreements the purpose of Confederation has changed.

Today some see it as a step towards Federation with Ontario and Quebec (provinces with the most people) ruling and others see it as something that needs to be updated to better represent the various Nations in the Confederation.

It could be called a form of government left over from British colonial rule which no longer serves the purpose for which it was created. Yet it continues.

Confederation is a union of countries or nations with some defined political authority given to a central or federal authority. For Canada the details can be found in the Canadian Constitution and the practical administration of the agreement.
