British Columbia did not join Confederation in 1867 primarily due to concerns over economic stability, infrastructure, and governance. The province was wary of being overshadowed by larger provinces and wanted assurances about the construction of a transcontinental railway to connect it with the rest of Canada. Additionally, BC's population was small, and many residents felt they had little to gain from joining a union at that time. It wasn't until 1871, after negotiations that addressed its concerns, that British Columbia joined Confederation.

When did Ontario join Canada?

After this, war's were fought to subjugate the mixed European and native Metis peopled societies that had emerged in Rupert's land unofficially, and a compromise regarding this led to the emergence of Manitoba and later around the turn of the century Alberta and Saskatchewan were settled by Europeans and Eastern Canadians, so they were always part of Canada and didn't have to join the federation. BC joined in 1871 of its own accord.
