The two colonies that participated in confederation talks but did not join Canada at first were Newfoundland and British Columbia. Newfoundland chose to remain an independent dominion until it joined Canada in 1949, while British Columbia initially declined to join in 1867 but eventually joined in 1871 after being promised a railway connection with the rest of Canada.

∙ 11y agoPEI and Newfoundland participated in talks but held out at first. PEI held out until 1873 and joined only under very favorable conditions that to this day gives them advantages other Canadians do not have.
Newfoundland held out until 1949, lost most of their coastline, and by some measures have paid much more into Canada than they have gotten out. Timing appears to be everything.

Second, that part of the Province of Canada which had formerly been Upper Canada (and which formed the basis of today's Ontario) had the most to gain from Confederation and was the strongest supporter of Confederation.
