Canada West, today's Ontario, was concerned about the repeated invasions into Ontario from the United States. They wanted other colonies to help fight the Americans because Britain was making it increasingly clear they could not be counted on to defend Canada.

Ontario also had the largest colonial population. They had hoped to dominate Confederation and they have. Even today many in Ontario believe and even say, What is good for Ontario, is good for Canada. There are many benefits to be had when a country can be put to your use.
