What was the second province to join Canada?
When Canada came into being on July 1, 1867, there were four original provinces: Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Each original province entered Confederation at the same time and none has a priority of entry over any of the others.
The fifth province to enter Confederation was Manitoba, but it was created by the federal government out of part of the Northwest Territories. Although it is correct to say that Manitoba "entered" Confederation on July 15, 1870, it did not exist as a separate colony prior to its creation. Therefore it did not "join" Confederation.
The first province to "join" Confederation was British Columbia, on July 20, 1871. The second province to "join" was Prince Edward Island, on July 1, 1873 .

What do all the provinces in Canada have in common?
Quebec's population is 8 million, not 7 million. Quebecers don't want their culture pushed on to the rest of Canada, they just want the French language prevented from going extinct in Canada. Many Aboriginal peoples are just like this so it's not something unique to Quebec.
The only real differences between Quebec and Ontario is that Ontario uses the English language and is typically right wing and Quebec uses the French language and is typically left wing. Other than that, the two provinces are not much different.
As for Quebec sucking up too much money, Quebecers barely take enough money to make a considerable dent in Canada's finances, but it's enough to make the anti-French bigots who are already prejudiced against the French to stir up their anti-French rhetoric.
Why they don't ***** about the costs to keep the Monarchy in Canada and to pay for Aboriginal reserves when they both cost the same as what Quebec gets annually (8 billion) is beyond me. But then again, what rational person would expect them to be consistent in their frugal philosophy?
