Best Answer

The main downside of Confederation was that it set the stage for a divided Canada, since it joined the French speaking province of Quebec with other, English speaking, provinces. Confederation also guaranteed Quebec special privileges which haunt Canadians to this day (a certain number/percentage of seats in the house of commons I believe).
