In Canada, the "Confederation" refers to the entire nation, similar to the way that the "Union" refers to the entire nation in the United States. The colonies of confederation refers to the original British colonies/provinces that merged to form Canada (Upper/Lower Canada, now Quebec and Ontario), New Brunswick, Nova Scotia.
the first four colonies to join confederation were Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Canada East and Canada West.
Canada East was not a political entity. It was part of the pre-Confederation Province of Canada. The Province of Canada was one of the three colonies that joined to create Canada, the first country to be created by legislation. The other two colonies were Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Confederation occurred on July 1, 1867. Immediately upon Confederation, the Province of Canada was severed into the Provinces of Ontario and Québec.
Confederation was risky as it had small colonies joining with the very much larger province of Canada (today's Ontario and Quebec). History has shown those concerns to be valid as today Canada is moving from a Confederation in which each Nation is equal to a Federation dominated by the most populous provinces.
Prior to Canadian confederation in 1867, the provinces of Canada were British colonies.
Confederation was and is a benefit to all regions of Canada.

Ontario did not exist as a separate entity prior to Confederation. Three colonies joined together to create Canada. They were Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the pre-Confederation Province of Canada. Upon Confederation (July 1, 1867) the Province of Canada was severed into the Provinces of Québec and Ontario.
They reoresented their own colonies which were the Maritime colonies, and the Province of Canada, before 1867. After that beautiful year many other fathers joined the confederation. They also represent the country of Canada. And if you have a problem with that. I got 2 words for ya. SUCK IT. ☺
The colonies where separated send depended on England Canada became a country in July1,1867.
They were not colonies and had their own treaties with Britain. Besides it would have been much harder to expand as Canada wanted if they had rights within the Confederation.
