British Columbia, in 1871. Please see the link.
some people in British Columbia supported the idea because they wanted more control over their government. British Columbia had the advantage that if they would join the confederation the Canadian government would make them a railway from Nova Scotia to British Columbia
The three choices open to the colony of british columbia in 870-1871 were that British Columbia could remain a British colony, the colony could join the united states and that British columbia could join the canadian confederation.

1. It is not called "confederacy" in Canada. The correct term is Confederation, and it is capitalized.2. Manitoba did not "join" Confederation. Manitoba did not exist as a separate entity before it entered Confederation. Manitoba was created out of the North-western Territories by the federal government.
The first province to join Confederation after 1867 was Manitoba, which joined in 1870.

Manitoba did not 'join' Confederation. On July 15, 1871, the North West Territories (a.k.a. Rupert's Land) was acquired by Canada from Britain. On the same date, the Province of Manitoba was created out of the North West Territories. British Columbia was the first province to 'join' Confederation, thereby becoming the sixth province. That was on July 20, 1871.
