Well, originally, New Brunswick wanted to join with Nova Scotia and PEI in a Maritime Union, but when John A. McDonald and George Brown got themselves in invited to the meetings, they persuaded Nova Scotia and New Brunswick to join Confederation. PEI did NOT join at this time because they felt no need.

The tenth province to join Canadian Confederation was British Columbia, which entered on July 20, 1871. Its accession was motivated by the promise of a transcontinental railway and the desire for economic stability and development. British Columbia became the westernmost province, significantly shaping Canada's geography and economy.

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.
Northwest Territory date of confederation was July 15, 1870.1869
