because the political deadlock was making it impossible to do anything in Canada east and Canada west. ================================================================ Technically, Canada East did not join Confederation. Canada East and Canada West were merely geographical designations, not political entities. The pre-Confederation Province of Canada was the political entity that joined Confederation. Immediately upon Confederation, the Province of Canada was divided into the Province of Québec and the Province of Ontario.
Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the pre-Confederation Province of Canada were joined together to create Canada on July 1, 1867. At the same time, the pre-Confederation Province of Canada was divided into two provinces: Québec and Ontario.
The last province to join Canada was Newfoundland in 1949. In 1999 the territory of Nunavut was formed from part of the Northwest Territories, but it does not have provincial status.Newfoundland Labrador was the last province to join confederationin 1949. Nunavut was the last territory to join Canada in 1999.
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.
Only three provinces joined together, but once they did so there were four provinces. Confused?? The three provinces that joined in Confederation were Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the pre-Confederation Province of Canada. Upon Confederation, the Province of Canada was severed into the provinces of Québec and Ontario.
Canada West and Canada East offered a railway to link Nova Scotia to the mainland. They promised money for bridges, roads, and other development.
The undertaker!
it's in the confederation. ------ No yet they still did. Now the Question is should they stay?
1. Ontario did not exist prior to Confederation. Therefore it could not have "joined" Confederation. 2. Confederation occurred almost 150 years ago. It is a little late to be discussing such a question.
because they wanted to be a part of the governments desisions
Ontario, Quebec, Alberta, and british Columbia were the first provinces to join confederation.
Winnipeg did not join Confederation.
Wrong. First, Ontario did not exist as such until Confederation. Second, that part of the Province of Canada which had formerly been Upper Canada (and which formed the basis of today's Ontario) had the most to gain from Confederation and was the strongest supporter of Confederation. Third, although all provinces have benefited from Confederation, it is probably fair to say that Ontario has benefited the most from Confederation.
The 1867 'Constitution Act' instituted confederation of four provinces; Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, as "one Dominion under the name of Canada".
The seventh province to join confederation was British Columbia. There are 13 provinces that joined confederation; Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Manitoba, Northwest Territories, Brittish Columbia, Prince Edward Island, Yukon, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nunavut. I hope i helped you =D
