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.
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.
Manitoba was known as the postage stamp province when it first joined Confederation in 1870, becoming the 5th province to join Canada, or the first since the first four provinces (Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick) in 1867. It was known as the postage stamp province because it was quite small then, only covering roughly 1/18 of it's current size. It was also rather square in shape, and because of it's small, square shape, it was nicknamed the postage stamp province.
British Columbia did want to join Confederation, but BC had not been part of the original negotiations. Therefore Britain told BC to wait until the new dominion became established. Four years later, BC joined Confederation.
Ontario joined Canada on July the 1st 1867, this is why us Canadians celebrate the national holiday "Canada Day" it was the first province to join Canada, and is what made it a Country to start with.July 1st 1867

Quebec joined confederation in 1867- with the other first three provinces.
Since they have yet to accept the Canadian Constitution some would say they have not joined, but they were in right from the start, 1867. They along with Ontario were Canada so one could say other provinces joined their Confederation.
When British Columbia joined Confederation on July 20, 1871, the only other provinces were the original four plus Manitoba.

Quebec, Ontario, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick entered Confederation on the same date, July 1st, 1867. That is why Canada Day is celebrated on July 1st every year.
On the day of Confederation (July 1, 1867) two provinces were created. Pursuant to section 6 of the British North America Act (now the Constitution Act) the pre-Confederation Province of Canada was severed into the Province of Ontario and the Province of Québec. The Province of Manitoba was created on July 15, 1870. The Provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan were created on September 1, 1905. All other provinces joined as colonies.
The main downside of Confederation was that it set the stage for a divided Canada, since it joined the French speaking province of Quebec with other, English speaking, provinces. Confederation also guaranteed Quebec special privileges which haunt Canadians to this day (a certain number/percentage of seats in the house of commons I believe).
The British North America Act of 1867 made the four provinces of Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia into a Dominion under the name Canada and to this Confederation the other provinces and territories which today are part of Canada were gradually added.
Well Canada was being made into territories and provinces when Confederation was being put into place as well as after. Geography is the land so, the split provinces becoming smaller provinces has something to do with it. John.A Macdonald was the biggest key part of Confederation. He and the other key parts of Confederation decided it was right to make the provinces smaller.
