Your question is very unspecific. BC required a railway, but much of the Prairies were HBC lands that were signed over to the crown and eventually divided into provinces in 1905. A much smaller Manitoba under the leadership of Louis Riel was the only other western area that joined confederation in a manner similar to the Eastern provinces.
Ask a more precise question.

Canada West is not the same as Western Canada. Canada West is also called Upper Canada. So the question is asking what were the negatives or reasons for Canada West or Upper Canada to not join in the United Province of Canada with Lower Canada.
They did join and the Province of Canada went on to have other provinces and colonies join in a Confederation that the Province of Canada (Ontario and Quebec) dominate today.
Reasons for Upper Canada to not join include having to give up some rights of self control. Also Lower Canada was Catholic and French while Upper Canada was Anglican and English and they did not always get along as well as they do today.

Why did Canada west join the confederation?
Canada West didn't join confederation. It was the name given to what had been Upper Canada before it joined with Lower Canada to become the Province of Canada. This united province then confederated with Nova Scotia and New Brunswick in 1867 and was split into Ontario and Quebec. One of the reasons Canada sought confederation with its neighbouring colonies was to resolve its own political deadlock between the primarily English Canada West and the primarily French Canada East. Other influences included the desire to build an inter-colony rail road, as well as the desire to strengthen British North America against attack by the United States.
Why did Canada East join Confederation?
because the political deadlock was making it impossible to do anything in Canada east and Canada west. ================================================================ Technically, Canada East did not join Confederation. Canada East and Canada West were merely geographical designations, not political entities. The pre-Confederation Province of Canada was the political entity that joined Confederation.
