Why didn't the north west territories from joining confederation?

The Northwest Territories did not join Canadian Confederation in 1867 primarily due to its vast, sparsely populated land and lack of infrastructure. The region was primarily focused on fur trading and had limited political representation or economic development, making it less appealing to join the newly formed Dominion. Additionally, the territories were under the control of the Hudson's Bay Company until 1870, when they were transferred to Canada, allowing for eventual integration into Confederation. The gradual development and settlement of the region eventually led to its inclusion in the Canadian federation.
