British Columbia did want to join Confederation, but BC had not been part of the original negotiations. Therefore Britain told BC to wait until the new dominion became established. Four years later, BC joined Confederation.
British Columbia did not join Confederation in 1867 primarily due to concerns over economic stability, infrastructure, and governance. The province was wary of being overshadowed by larger provinces and wanted assurances about the construction of a transcontinental railway to connect it with the rest of Canada. Additionally, BC's population was small, and many residents felt they had little to gain from joining a union at that time. It wasn't until 1871, after negotiations that addressed its concerns, that British Columbia joined Confederation.
The last province to join Confederation was Newfoundland, in 1949. The last territory to join Canada was Nunavut, in 1999.

He didn't "join" Confederation, well I guess in one sense he did because he was one of our Fathers of Confederation and a professional politician. Maybe that is why.
The first province to join Confederation after 1867 was Manitoba, which joined in 1870.
