No, not really. They joined only four after Canada was formed. They were in great need of financial assistance and were worried about being annexed by the US.
Victoria, the capital of the Canadian province of British Columbia, and Regina, the capital of the Canadian province Saskatchewan, were both named for Queen Victoria. "Regina" is the Latin word for queen.
The first 4 were Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Canada purchased Ruperts Land and Northwest Territories. From that land they created Manitoba. They were not a colony before joining. British Columbia was a colony, they joined next. PEI was also a colony. The Yukon, Saskatchewan, and Alberta were not British colonies unlike Newfoundland. Nunavat was not a colony other than a Canadian colony. So the answer is Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, British Columbia, PEI and Newfoundland.
Alberta joined the Confederation of Canada in 1905. Alberta is the fourth largest Province in Canada in both size and population.
