The main reason the English and French communities formed the Dominion of Canada was to create a united front against external threats, particularly the expansionist ambitions of the United States. Additionally, the Confederation offered a solution to internal political and economic challenges, providing a framework for governance and fostering economic cooperation among the provinces. This union also aimed to maintain cultural identities and promote stability in a diverse society.
The Great Coalition was a political alliance formed in Canada in 1864, consisting of the provinces of Canada East (Quebec) and Canada West (Ontario), along with New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Its primary aim was to address the political deadlock in the Province of Canada and to discuss the idea of confederation as a solution to various economic and political challenges. This coalition ultimately led to the Confederation of Canada in 1867, uniting these provinces into a single Dominion. It was significant in laying the groundwork for the creation of modern Canada.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) played a crucial role during Confederation by providing a sense of security and stability in the newly formed Dominion of Canada. Established in 1873, the RCMP helped maintain law and order in the western territories, which were vital for the expansion of the nation. Their presence facilitated the peaceful integration of diverse communities and supported the government's efforts to establish governance and infrastructure in these regions. Additionally, the RCMP symbolized national unity and the rule of law, contributing to the overall cohesion of the Confederation.

On July 1 1867 the Confederation of Canada was formed when Upper Canada, Lower Canada, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia became the first four provinces of Canada.
Depends on which English we are talking about. The English people and for that matter the Scottish and Irish including those who intermarried with aboriginals that found themselves included in Canada's purchase and acquisition of lands they live on were generally supportive. Riel found support among other groups with history in Western Canada, and met little or no resistance when setting up a provisional government. If we are talking about the English who were new to Western Canada or were Canadians intending to take control of their new possession they did not like Riel at all. Some of these formed the Canadian Party Militia and hoped to attack Riel and his forces. The Canadian Party had little support among the local English and found themselves imprisoned in Fort Garry. English Canadians liked Riel even less after he killed a member of the Canadian Party. English in Britain on the other hand knew and cared little about Riel or Western Canada.

Canada was formed in 1867. Canada was formed partly because of economic needs. Provinces could easily trade with each other giving people more places to sell their products. As a country, Canadians could also more easily defend themselves against threats from other countries. In the 1860's, people in Canada were concerned about attack from the United States, especially since Canada was a British colony at that time. The Americans were not on good terms with the British.

Depending on how far back in history you're looking, I wouldn't say Canada was *recently* formed. Upon Confederation in 1867, Canada was adopted as the legal name for the new country, and the word Dominion was conferred as the country's title. However, as Canada asserted its political autonomy from the United Kingdom, the federal government increasingly used simply Canada on state documents and treaties.
In 1867, the federal dominion of Canada was formed. In 1931, Canada was granted its independence from Britain in almost every way, but it wasn't until 1982 that all legal dependence on British Parliament was finally severed.
