BC Regarding Confederation Report

1.
The Situation was a cartoon with the right reasons for confederation. It showed two hotels one that was Canada's hotel with a nice caring person and the US Hotel with a mean and ready man to take someone and steal their things. A woman that is from Manitoba has to make a choice and the Canada Hotel is the way better choice since the women is greeting her.

Too Old to be Caught with Chaff was a cartoon that had good reasons for confederation, because it showed two men with a trap and a another man looking at over in his country. This showed the Americans wanted to take over Canada and if Canada all worked together that would not happen.

New Brunswick: People feelings towards confederation were mixed. Fights through the streets broke out after the anti-conferderation neighborhood. From this 7 party members had to go home and get bandaged. In Fredericton there were festivals with a marksmanship competition. Who ever was against confederation kept their stores closed and their flags lowered.

Ontario: Canada West voted for the 72 resolutions from the Quebec Conference. Canada West also voted for most of the Quebec Conference proposals. A kind of rep by pop happened by establishing provincial governments for the part of the administrative powers and by redistributing elected members in the House of Commons within Ottawa. The local costs were controlled by creating provincial legislatures and the main powers had to have a strong federal authority. Some people thought that the subject to vote should be by the people in Canada East and some in New Brunswick.

Nova Scotia: The feelings influenced that fall's federal and provincial elections. They feared that the federal members would not attend the first sitting of the new nation's Parliament. William the provinces premier pushed for the removal of confederation, since that failed he still continued to fight against confederation and was integrated into a new government.

Quebec: The process of confederation did not consider Aboriginal people even though it was affected by decisions made from the 3 conferences. The Aboriginal people were not consulted the possibility of an association with them was not raised. They did not agree with the resolutions of Quebec's Conference and strongly disagreed with the centralizing nature. Canada East did not agree in a legislative union based on the representation of their population.

Ontario: "No one can doubt what the views of Upper Canada are in regard to an appeal to the people before Confederation is finally carried into effect. Taking the press as an indication of public opinion, we must conclude that the feeling is almost unanimous in favor of allowing the people an opportunity to express an opinion upon the constitution under which they are to live."

This explains that people should have a choice to vote for what they would like the society and country to be and if it would be safe or not.

New Brunswick: "several members of the party were obliged to go home to have their heads bandaged."

This explains that people would like to have a vote or if they do want to have a choice of what it would be like where they live then they should just fight since they are not going to like it where they are anyway. 

Quebec: "The government shall study the timeliness of a federal union of British North American provinces, and will contact the imperial government and Maritime provinces in this regard. The result of these communications will be presented to Parliament next session."

This explains that all the French should look at the advantages and look at everything that is going to happen instead of backing down what the other provinces is saying about confederation or not. 

Nova Scotia: "Better terms."

This explains that Nova Scotia did not want Nova Scotia connected to Canada and they brought up more terms and better reasons why they have to stay apart.

British Columbia should join confederation, because they would be able to help the other provinces and will be able to help them out with any land, food, voting, or military problems. If they do they could combine the provinces together and let everyone have more land to do things on since they would be sharing. They have good land and population.
