Manitoba
Manitoba did not 'join' Confederation. On July 15, 1871, the North West Territories (a.k.a. Rupert's Land) was acquired by Canada from Britain. On the same date, the Province of Manitoba was created out of the North West Territories. British Columbia was the first province to 'join' Confederation, thereby becoming the sixth province. That was on July 20, 1871.
Rupert's Land and the Northwest Territories were transferred from Britain to Canada on July 15, 1870. The Province of Manitoba was created by the Canadian government on the same day.
They would suggest Canada was but one member of the Confederation later to be called Canada. Canada of course saw it more as a take over with annoying rules but at least they got to keep their name. Canada, NB, and NS were the first, with Canada becoming Ontario and Quebec in 1867, BC joined 1871, PEI in 1873, and Newfoundland in 1949. All the others were created out of land acquired by Canada in 1870 in deals with the HBC and Britain.
Yukon joined Canada because they had realized the need for a local government created because of the population increase by the Gold Rush.When the Gold Rush happened, they needed a local government to control all the chaos happening, and they couldn't remain such a big part of the Northwest Territories so they became a single province.
