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.

∙ 12y agoThere was no political entity known as "west Canada" at the time of Confederation.
If you are referring to "Canada West," it was a term used to describe a geographical area within the pre-Confederation Province of Canada.
If you are referring to what is known today as "Western Canada," provision was made in section 146 of the British North America Act for Rupert's Land, the North-western Territory, and the colony of British Columbia to enter Confederation.
