Canada West joined the Confederation because they had lots to offer and needed lots to receive. Canada West was plentiful in lumber, apples, cotton and other recourses. If they join the Confederation they would be able to build a railway going through the whole nation; which in turn would allow them to export and gain other resources which they can not aquire such as a variety of fish, a reliable supply of wheat. They would create a multi-cultural nation. Aswell if all the nations joined as one they would be able to have a much better economy. They would be able to export the foods via train; also if their economy became better they would be able to build proper cities.
These are reasons why Canada West joined the Confederation.
