∙ 13y agoIn 1841, the British Parliament passed the Act of Union which united Quebec (Lower Canada) and Ontario (Upper Canada) as one colony. In 1867, the additional colonies of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island joined with Canada in confederation as the Dominion of Canada. The vast North-west Territories were subsequently obtained by Canada from the Hudson's Bay Company. From this territory Ontario and Quebec were expanded, Manitoba ( joined confederation in 1870) was created and expanded. British Columbia followed, then Saskatchewan and Alberta (both 1905). In the late 1890's, the Yukon was created from the remaining NWT. In 1949 Newfoundland joined confederation, and in the 1990's, the NWT was split into Nunavut and the NWT.
