Spain joining Canadian Confederation? What planet are you on?
Confederation
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.

Quebec joined confederation in 1867- with the other first three provinces.
