If you mean Canada west as Ontario then yes they were, for many reasons. The government kept changing in Canada east and west, it was hard to make big decisions they decided to create a new country called Canada, to solve these issues. When the Americans had a war over slavery, the British helped those who were for slavery, but when the people against slavery won, the province of Canada was afraid they would get attacked because they were a British colony, but if they were a separate country, the Americans would be nice to their new neighbor.

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.
