it is bonnie boo
When Canada came into being on July 1, 1867, it consisted of four provinces: Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, and Ontario. All four provinces became part of Canada at the same moment in time, and none has a higher priority in joining than any of the others.
Only three provinces joined together, but once they did so there were four provinces. Confused?? The three provinces that joined in Confederation were Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the pre-Confederation Province of Canada. Upon Confederation, the Province of Canada was severed into the provinces of Québec and Ontario.
The Dominion of Canada was formed July 1, 1867. The first four provinces were Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick.
Strictly speaking, no, the united Province of Canada was split to form the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Québec at confederation. However, the Province of Canada included the old Canada West and the old Canada East, which were to become the new provinces. Nova Scotia and New Brunswick were there before confederation.
When British Columbia joined Confederation on July 20, 1871, the only other provinces were the original four plus Manitoba.
The pre-Confederation province of Canada, and the provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, existed as separate British colonies immediately prior to Confederation. Confederation occurred on July 1, 1867. By the British North America Act, those provinces were joined together on that date to form a new country under the name of Canada. Canada was then divided into four provinces: Ontario, Québec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. The boundaries of the provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia remained as they had been immediately prior to Confederation. The territory of the former provinces of Upper Canada and Lower Canada, which had been joined together as the Province of Canada in 1841 by the Act of Union, became the provinces of Ontario and Québec respectively.
